"Turquoise / Petrol square: Drops caught in the fluff of a golden-coloured Tragopogon" is a macro photo I took of a very small piece of a large fluffy bulb of a Tragopogon. These lint balls resemble those of a Common Dandelion, but are generally larger and the lint has a different texture. As you can see in the photo, the structure of a lint ball of a Tragopogon is more like a spider's web.
When I took this photo, there were many very small water droplets in the fluff of the fluff. This gives a nice effect to the photo. If you zoom in on the photo, you can see this very well. You can then also see the depth of field in the photo. I chose it so that I could photograph through the front fluff (as you can see in the bottom right corner). With these settings, that front fluff becomes very blurred and gives a very nice veil.
