"Still life of Hydrangea leaves with watery reflection" is a still life I photographed of a hydrangea leaf that is already partially decaying. Because the sun has already partially dried the leaf, the vein structure is clearly visible.
The brown background continues into the ground surface. This ground surface is reflective and textured, which breaks the reflection of the hydrangea leaf and makes it look as if the leaf is standing in water. This gives a natural abstract painterly effect to the photo. In this photo, I have pulled back the colour a little to get a more old-fashioned colour in the photo this way. (This photo is also available in warm colours and mirrored with the title: "Warm colours: Hydrangea leaf with red-brown background"
Work code: 1 639 690)
When making this picture, I chose to have a shallow depth of field in the photo. If you zoom in on the work, you can see this.
This photo could hang beautifully as wall decoration on Artframe or aluminium, for example, in the dining room, kitchen, bedroom or simply above the sofa or sideboard in the living room! (Also, of course, beautiful in business locations such as on the wall in a meeting room, office, waiting room or practice room!)
