The photo: "Winter feeling: Droplets hanging from the fluff of a Dandelion" is an extreme macro photo of a small piece of a beautiful large fluffy bulb of a Dandelion.
Slightly below the centre of the photo is the heart of a fluffy bulb, where the focus is. Attached to this fluff (and also to the other fluff) are lots of tiny water droplets. These water droplets give a nice effect because you can see parts behind in some of them.
If you zoom in on the photo, you can see this effect nicely. The light blue colour in the background gives a nice soft atmosphere to the photo. It almost feels wintry. Like an ice crystal in a cold environment.
The "hairs" of the fluff create a line pattern that is sharp in the foreground and as you look further back, these lines become fainter. For this, I chose to put the focus of the photo on the middle fluff. That is the part I want the viewer to focus their gaze on first.
Of course, this photo is not a real winter scene at all, but the colours and shapes create that feeling. This ensures that you can simply leave the photo hanging as a wall decoration all year round!
This very small piece of nature of a very small piece of a Dandelion could, for example, hang beautifully in the bedroom, waiting room, dining room or just above the dresser in the living room!
