The macro photo: "Orange Echinacea in the light: Warm autumn colours" is a photo of a beautiful Echinacea with warm orange tones. In the Netherlands, this plant is also called Sun Hat. Sunflowers come in different colours. Echinacea belongs to the family Asteraceae. You often see these plants in gardens in the Netherlands in July and August.
This flower stands with "its head" facing the light. This shows that most of the flower is nicely highlighted, creating an exciting image with the flower in the light and the shadow, where the stalk and the background fall.
If you zoom in on the photo, you can nicely see how detailed the photo is. When taking this photo, I chose the depth of field for this photo so that the front part of the heart is in focus. From through, the sharpness gradually tapers off to blur towards the front and back. This in fact creates a sense of depth in the photo that makes the image more exciting but at the same time calmer to look at.
For example, this photo could hang beautifully as a stylish and colourful accent in a kitchen, dining room or above the sideboard in the living room.
