Quite pretty little "bottle brushes". Love the DOF.

wonderfully singled out with the shallow DoF. This image breathes a quiet, soothing, earthly mood for me.

This has the potential to be just plain busy. But the painterly quality of the tones and the DOF make this image work.

The contrast between the "brushes" and the rest of the image makes them stand out beautifully. A fine close up.
