i like it!!! great composition!
but what is it?

looks like a pod of some kind..animal, vegetable or mineral?

Very interesting Chris,
What struck me is how the pod is quite sharp but the green vegetation in the background is not just out of focus but it seems to have motion blur. It's as if it was very windy but the pod was anchored firmly.
Nice shot.

Wow, just the whole out-of-focus-green-blurry-thing really get's to me somehow. I love it. It breaks all the rules.

Well done.

Chris

What the others said!

This has a certain japanese feel for me somehow. Hard to verbalise. I guess the composition of the shot is both elegant and simple. Magic.

Excellent use of DoF, Chris. Well done indeed.

Thanks everyone - I have no idea what plant it was and it was one of those quick shots coz it caught my eye.

Love the pic Chris. I always look forward to your shots. they are different and inspirational. As Stubbsy said, very Japanese. The green pod stays focused as the green leaves drift with the wind. (OK I am hopeless at Haiku, but you get the idea.)

Regards

I love the depth of field in this shot and the composure of the bg is soo perfect I think the foreground could be a crushed soda can and I'd still like it
