Soft pastel colours in the morning: The water droplets hang from a fluffy fabric

by Marjolijn van den Berg

"Soft pastel colours in the morning: Water droplets hang from a fluff" is a macro photo of a small piece of the fluffy bulb of a plant called the Tragopogon. (aka Morning Star in the Netherlands). The tiny water droplets stuck to the fluff create a beautiful effect. They magnify the underlying, which can be clearly seen when you zoom in on the photo. You can then see, in the water droplets, that in the background you can see two soft, old pink squares, which are vaguely visible in the droplets and enhance this colour in the photo.
Because it is only a small detail that has been photographed, the photo takes on an abstract feel. You wouldn't normally see this with the naked eye, especially from this particular perspective. When taking this photo, I chose a shallow depth of field, creating a sense of depth. This effect causes everything in the background and foreground to become fainter the further away from the focal point.
This photo could, for example, hang beautifully as a wall decoration in the bedroom, hallway or simply above the sofa in the living room! And of course also beautiful on the wall in a waiting room or meeting room (business)
