Structure from nature – Natural lines in shades of brown by Marjolijn van den Berg

This macro photograph: "Structuur uit de natuur - Natuurlijke lijnen in bruintinten" is a picture of a small piece of honeycomb that I found. I suspect it is the beginnings of a wasps’ nest that has blown out of a tree. The beautiful, soft, natural colours of this object create a very peaceful, natural atmosphere.
The structure immediately caught my eye. By photographing this object with the reflection included, it adds a bit more dynamism to the photo and creates a diagonal line within the frame. Even the small section of the background that is visible blends harmoniously with the subject, adding to the sense of tranquillity. The chosen depth of field creates even more tranquillity in this photo. As this is relatively shallow, everything in front of and behind the point of focus gradually fades into the background. This also lends a sense of depth to the photograph.
This piece would look stunning in a wide variety of home styles, interior trends and spaces. For example, on ArtFrame in a country-style living room, on HD-Metal or aluminium in a natural, minimalist bedroom, or behind Acrylic Glass in the waiting room to create a peaceful atmosphere.
