"Simple portrait of a Zeeland Knotweed" is a macro photo of a branch of a Zeeland Knotweed with two flowers on it. The large flower is already opening and the smaller one is just starting to open. The creamy white colour contrasts beautifully with the green background. This green colour in turn nicely matches the green colour found in the Zeeland Knotweed. This makes for a calm whole that feels harmonious.
I kept the depth of field quite small in this photo to create a sense of depth and to keep the background fairly even in colour. This also creates a calmness in the photo. If you zoom in on the photo, you can see this clearly.
This calm minimalist natural work can hang beautifully in a space you want to keep calm and natural. Think bedroom, waiting room or just above the sofa!
