"Country Love: The two of them together" is a picture I took of two sprites (with seed pods) of dried flax. These two represent a large bunch of dried flax. Because the natural brown tones of the dried flax of the two sprites in the foreground recur in the colour of background (the bunch of dried flax), a calm and cohesive whole is created. This gives a peace and unity feeling to the work.
When taking this picture, I chose to set my camera so that only the flax in the foreground is in focus. The flax in the background can only be seen as abstract blurred outlines. This creates a sense of depth (difference between foreground and background) in the photo. It also creates a kind of calmness in the photo, as not all the flax in the background is also in focus. The emphasis in the work will be on the two front sprites.
This photo could hang beautifully in an interior with a country style, for example.
