Square of natural tranquillity: Shining in the light

by Marjolijn van den Berg

"Square natural peace: Shining in the light" is a macro photograph of a small piece of a Tragopogon (Morning Star). In this work, you can see a few fluffs attached to the fluffy bulb of this flower. Hanging from the fluffy bulb are very small drops of water. As the light falls beautifully on these fluffy balls, some of the droplets create sparkles. A play of light and dark that feels very natural and creates a peaceful atmosphere. If you zoom in on the work, you can see that I chose a shallow depth of field. The focus is on the front fluff, on the drops on the stalk in the middle. Everything in that plane is sharp, and from there everything in front and behind it gradually fades. This gives a very serene effect in this photo I think. In addition, this also creates a sense of depth in the work and really puts the focus on the fluff that lies in the middle.

This piece could hang beautifully as wall decoration in the bedroom, kitchen, hallway or just above the sofa! Also beautiful in business locations such as on the wall in a meeting room, office, waiting room or practice room!
