Nature is a favourite subject of mine. I always search for interesting structures or shapes. This time, I found these little flower buds of the Nipplewort (Lapsana communis). They are very fragile, but I love the structure and lines of this plant. It is nice to play around with the depth of field with all these lines and buds. So I focussed on some of the flower buds in the middle and that way blurred out the ones in front and behind.
I changed quite a bit in the colours, the original photo needed some colour boost.
