This photo: "Tranquillity and simplicity: An old pink Zeeuws Knoopje" is a picture of a still life of a flower of a Zeeuws Knoopje (Astrantia Major). This pretty little flower has an (old) pink colour in the petals and "flowers" and also a light green colour. Together with the background which is a moss green/pistachio colour, this gives a calm simple image.
The focus in the photo is on the front leaves and "flowers". When taking this photo, I opted for a not too large depth of field, to get a sense of depth and calmness in the photo.
Sea Knots are one of my favourite flowers to photograph. I really like this Zeeland Knot because the colours stand out so nicely with this background, creating a unity between foreground and background. The little flower is on a separate background. It is reflective and also has a structure in the material. This makes the reflection abstract and picturesque. This adds a nice atmosphere to the photo!
This still life in soft natural colours could, for example, hang beautifully above your bed in the bedroom, in the waiting room or as wall decoration in the meeting room (business).
