About the artwork

Abstract panorama in warm colors: The drops fade away," is an (extreme) macro photo of a single dandelion fluff lying on a watery reflective surface.
This photo was taken with a more extreme macro lens than is normally used. This magnifies the subject even more and you start to see elements you had probably never seen before: "The wonderful world of extreme macro photography." For example, do you see the "little hooks" attached to the hairs of the lint?
This sounds easier than it is, because you are only photographing such a small piece, any movement you make is immediately visible in your photo. In addition, the light and very limited sharpness are also a challenge! But after a lot of patience, practice, trial and keep going, you also get something unique!
The depth of field is very shallow, (only a few millimeters from a few hairs of fluff and droplets) this creates not only a dreamy atmosphere, but also a sense of depth in the work.
The droplets also cooperate to create this dreamy atmosphere, they reflect the light and surroundings and this creates sparkles and reflections in the droplets between and on the hairs of fluff. Because the focus is on the point where the stalk turns into the fuzz hairs, the tips of the hairs fade into the surface creating an abstraction.

Association: tranquility, zen, water, drop, nature, abstract,

Great as a wall decoration for the waiting room, bedroom, hallway or of course just above the couch!
