"Dreamy country atmosphere: The inside of a fluffy bulb" is a macro photo of a piece of the inside of a Tragopogon. A Tragopogon (in Dutch this flower is also called morning star) is, like the Dandelion, a member of the Composite family (Asteraceae). When the flower has finished flowering, it turns into a fluffy ball, just like the dandelion. With the Tragopogon, the fluff balls are only different, they have a kind of spider's web structure as fluff. If you zoom in on the photo, you can see this. You can also see that I chose a small depth-of-field, meaning that only a very small area is in focus and everything behind this area (on in front of it) gradually fades away. This creates depth in the work, and the dreamy atmosphere, because the fluff in the foreground is completely faded and gives a kind of very soft soft haze to the work in some parts.
This work could hang beautifully as a wall decoration in the kitchen, bedroom or waiting room, for example.
