"Zeeuws knoopje (Astrantia Major) with broken reflection with dark background" is a macro photo of a Zeeuws knoopje lying on a mirrored surface. This causes the flower to reflect on the underside and you get a surprising image. The reflective surface is not smooth, but has a kind of texture, so the reflection consists of lines, which just looks like a watery wavy surface. If you zoom in on the photo, you can see this.
When taking this photo, I chose a shallow depth-of-field, so the front "flowers" are sharp and the further back you look the blurrier they become.
A high-contrast scene / still life, which exudes a sense of warmth and also, despite the contrast, something of tranquillity. Besides fuchsia, the main colours in this work are purple, old pink, green and cream.
This work could hang beautifully as a wall decoration in the bedroom, kitchen, hall or just above the sofa! Also beautiful in business locations such as on the wall in a meeting room, office waiting room or practice room!
