"Warm colours of star anise (close-up)" is a macro photo of a piece of a star anise. When making this photo, I chose a shallow depth of field, which means that only a small part is in focus (the part of the star anise (the seed) just a little to the bottom left of the centre) and the rest becomes increasingly blurred, the further it is from the focal point. The warm colours of the star anise also give the work a warm brown, orange colour at the same time. The woody structure of the outside of the star anise gives it a natural feel at the same time. This work could hang beautifully in the dining room or kitchen, but of course also just above the sofa
