"Square: A Zeeland Knot (Astrantia Major)" is a macro photo of a flower of an Astrantia Major (Zeeland Knot).
The lighting and editing have given this work a distinct atmosphere. On the one hand, I find it somewhat romantic and, on the other, somewhat dramatic (partly due to the dark purple-fuchsia colours).
The background is blended and generally dark in colour.
The focus of this photo is on the front "pistil - flower" and petals. The further back you look, the more the flower fades. This creates depth in the work. Due to the editing, the textures on some of the petals are clearly visible and the work seems to have a somewhat "raw edge". The work has been cropped into a square.
This work could, for example, hang beautifully as wall decoration in the bedroom, kitchen, hallway or simply above the sofa! Also beautiful in business locations such as on the wall in a meeting room, office waiting room or practice room!
