"Light Blue: Dandelion Fluff with Water Droplets" is a (edited) macro photo of fluff of a dandelion with a light blue - white background / ground. Water droplets hang from the fluff.
The depth of field is small, (only a few millimeters from the fluffy hairs) this creates, besides a quiet, dreamy atmosphere, also a sense of depth in the work. The focal point is at the part where the stalk turns into the fluff (at the middle piece of fluff).The droplets also help to create this dreamy atmosphere, they reflect the light and this creates sparkles on the droplets.
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 will show right up in your photo.
Great as a wall decoration for the waiting room, bedroom, hallway or just above the couch in the living room!
Also beautiful on the wall in a meeting room (business).
