"Simple still life in pink: Reflection of an Astrantia Major" is a macro photo of a beautiful flower of an Astrantia Major ( in the Netherlands this plant is also called "Zeeuws Knoopje").
For this photo, I placed this flower on a special reflective material so that the flower can also be seen in the ground plane, but in an abstract version and upside down.
Because there is a texture in the material, it creates a picturesque, abstract and dreamy reflection.
The background colour in this photo gives it a soft and calm look.
If you zoom in on the photo, you can nicely see the details of the picture. You can then see that the focus is on the front flowers and the further back you look, the fainter the flower becomes. I chose this depth of field to create a sense of calm and depth in the work. A "simple still life in pink" can hang beautifully on the wall of, for example, a bedroom, dining room or just on the wall!
