"Simplicity and colourful serenity: A piece of pink Zeeland Knotweed (Astrantia Major) with reflection" is a macro photo of a small piece of a Zeeland Knotweed (Astrantia Major). This pretty little flower is reflected in the ground. But not a tight reflection, but a reflection that feels more abstract. This gives a special effect to the photo.
The framing is chosen so that the flower fills about half the image. The rest is almost completely filled by the reflection of the flower.
When taking this photo, I chose a small depth of field, this creates a sense of depth in the work and a kind of dreamy atmosphere. This ensures that the front "small flowers" (stamps) are razor-sharp, and from there the flower and stamps gradually fade. As a result, the petals almost blend into the petals of the reflection.
This work could hang beautifully as a wall decoration in the bedroom, dining room 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!
