"Under a canopy of fluffy seeds of a Tragopogon" is a macro photo of a piece of a wood-coloured fluffy bulb of a Tragopogon (in the Netherlands, this plant is also called a Morning Star). When the flower of this plant has finished flowering, it turns into a fluff ball, allowing the seeds to be easily dispersed by wind.
When taking this picture, I chose a shallow depth of field, meaning only a small part is in focus and everything in front or behind it gradually fades away. I chose this to get a sense of depth in the photo and it also gives a kind of calmness, as the focus is not on everything.
This work could hang beautifully as wall decoration in the bedroom, kitchen, hallway or just above the sofa! Obviously also beautiful in business locations such as on the wall in a meeting room, office, waiting room or practice room!
