"Flowering bullet thistle: The little flowers open" is a (quite extreme) macro photo of a small piece of the bullet thistle. This bullet thistle is starting to flower and you can see that in the bottom left corner the flowers are still closed and the further you look to the right and above, the more flowers are open. A gentle, peaceful scene.
When taking this photo, I chose a special lens, which can go just a little further with macro photos'than standard macro lenses. In addition, I used a small depth-of-field to ensure that the photo has a dreamy atmosphere. This setting also creates a sense of depth in the work, as only a small part is in focus, and the further you look from this part, forward and back, the more the image gradually fades.
Association: calm, zen, nature, abstract, romantic, spring, springtime, gorgeous
This work could hang beautifully as wall decoration in the bedroom, kitchen, hallway or just above the sofa! Also beautiful in business locations such as on the wall in a meeting room, office waiting room or practice room!
