"Together: Simple portrait of two thistle bulbs" is a macro photo of two thistle bulbs (a flowering thistle bulb on the left and a thistle bulb just short of blooming on the right).
Because the two thistle bulbs are so close together, it looks like a couple in love being portrayed.
The background colour is a little orange - brownish in colour. Because this colour is completely different from the colour of the thistle bulbs, a great contrast is created and the thistle bulbs stand out completely from the background.
If you zoom in on the photo, you can clearly see the details. The focus of this photo is on the front of the thistle bulbs. Everything further back (and forward) gradually fades. This creates a sense of depth in the photo.
This work could, for example, hang beautifully in the bedroom, hallway, waiting room, practice room or, of course, just above the sofa!
