"Peace and calm: A drop resting on a feather" is a macro photograph of a peaceful scene (still life): A droplet resting on a feather.
When taking this picture, I chose a low depth of field. This gives the work a dreamlike atmosphere because small parts (including the drop and the fluffy hairs on the front) are in focus. It creates a minimalist image that radiates tranquillity.
This scene of the feather and droplet is only a few centimetres big in reality!
The brown ( beige - taupe ) tones contribute to a warm look. The golden light falling on the feather gives it a warm colour.
The lighting has been chosen in such a way that there is tension in the photo, despite the tranquillity, there is something exciting in the lighting (because of the gradient from light to dark) in my opinion.
This work could, for example, hang beautifully as wall decoration in the waiting room, bedroom, children's room or of course just above the couch in the living room!
