"Two Bull Thistles: Putting heads together" is a macro photo of two flowers of a Bull Thistle. On these bulbs are all little flowers. If you zoom in on the photo, you can see that the right thistle bulb is already much further into bloom than the left one.
The beautiful blue-purple colour of the thistle bulbs contrasts beautifully with the green background. Because I set the camera to a shallow depth of field when taking the photo, the background is fairly even. The focus is on the front flowers of the Thistle bulbs. The further back you look, the fainter the bulbs become. This creates a sense of depth in the photo.
A small piece of nature, with a green background. A simple, calm image with beautiful colours!
This photo could, for example, hang beautifully as wall decoration in the waiting room, bedroom, hallway or of course just above the couch in the living room!
