Droplets carried by a natural umbrella

by Marjolijn van den Berg

"Droplets carried by a natural umbrella" is an (extreme) macro photo of part of a fluff of a morning star (Tragopogon) photographed from diagonally below. To get a bit of an idea of the size of this little scene: This part in the photo is in reality about 1 a 2 cm high. (This edited) photo has soft wood-coloured tones (beige) / pastel colours and is almost black and white. You get a glimpse here into the "wonderful world" of macro photography where the depth of field is shallow. This creates a calm, dreamy atmosphere and also a sense of depth in the work. The focal point is at the part where the stalk turns into the fluff. The drops also help to create this dreamy atmosphere, as they reflect the light and this creates sparkles on the drops. Association: calm, zen, water, drop, nature, abstract, fluff, tranquillity, chic, round, circle, spring, spring, wood, warm, cosy, natural living, morning star, country living style. This work could hang beautifully as a wall decoration in the dining room, bedroom, hall or simply above the sofa! Also beautiful in business locations such as on the wall in a meeting room, office waiting room or practice room
