Warm autumn colours from nature – The structure of a leaf by Marjolijn van den Berg

This photograph: "Warme herfstkleuren uit de natuur - De structuur van een blad" is a botanical macro shot of a small section of a leaf that has been drying in the sun for a while. This plant has beautiful leaves which, in my opinion, are even more beautiful when they are dried, like this one. The vein structure of this leaf is very clearly visible because the leaf has become very light in colour and semi-transparent.
When taking this photograph, I opted for a relatively shallow depth of field, so that the front part of the leaf in the centre of the photograph is in focus, with the sharpness gradually diminishing the further away you look from this point. This creates a natural sense of depth in the photograph and lends the image a sense of tranquillity.
Thanks to the tranquillity and simplicity in this photograph, the image would look stunning in many interior styles and home décor trends. Think, for example, of a minimalist, natural, rustic or Japandi style. This photograph also lends itself very well to being combined with other photo's. This allows you to create beautiful home décor sets for the wall. This piece would look stunning, for example, as wall art in the bedroom on an ArtFrame above the bed, as wallpaper in the hall to make a striking first impression, or simply above the sofa in the living room – perhaps mounted on aluminium! It would also look lovely on the wall in a meeting room (business setting).
