Flower Hand

While returning to work today from my walk I noticed this little pink flower and the surrounding five buds making up a flowery hand shape. It's not quite as sharp as I'd like, since the branch was blowing in the wind a bit, but I did manage some lovely bokeh :)

    Very interesting little flower, nice bokeh. You will have a great time learning your new camera

    Thanks Paul,

    I might head out again tomorrow with the new kit and shoot it again as a comparison. Of course it's equally likely I'll be stuck in the office doing work all day, or reading the manual so I have some idea how to take a decent shot ;-)

    Thanks Maria :) Although the flower was not as sharp as I wanted, the bokeh more than makes up for it.
