The photo "Simplicity can be so simple: Moccha Mousse with a light beige Tragopogon" is a photo I took of a beautiful Tragopogon (in the Netherlands, this plant is also called Morgenster).
I photographed the fluffy bulb of this plant in front of a brown background (Moccha Mousse-like colour). This, together with the cream - beige colours of the fluffy bulb, gives a warm simple rural look.
Because of its simplicity and simplicity, this photo exudes something of tranquillity.
When you zoom in on this photo (by clicking on it), you can clearly see the beautiful structure of this fluffy ball. You can also see how the depth of field is set on the camera. When taking this photo, I chose a moderate depth of field, so that everything in front of and behind the focal point gradually fades away. (The focus point is roughly in the centre of the middle fluff ball). This choice makes the ball of fluff run from sharp to blurred, creating a sense of depth in the photo. This also gives calmness, as not everything is in focus and your eye is drawn to the sharpness.
Ideal if you are looking for wall decoration in warm brown tones and at the same time want a piece of nature in your home that radiates tranquillity!
