This shot is of an Asparagus plant in our garden. The feathery leaves drew my attention. The green circles are seeds. Went shallow DOF for an abstract/artsy kind of look.

Not too difficult to see what it is but that doesn't detract from the image. Your DOF really makes for a cool image. I like the subtle purples and greens in the image and the black just adds to it. Interesting.

Macro does not mean all blurry except one little part. Meets challenge. Nice color / color combination.

Can't tell, kinda looks like the end of a feather or a wispy plant?

Very whispy, DOF might be a bit to shallow. I am guessing that is is part of a flower or weed.

Has such a sad feeling to it for me... lonely and wandering. I like the contrast between the spiky branches and the round bokeh circles. I'll guess it's a plant blowing in the breeze?

nice abstract.

This is a cool abstract. Great colors, interesting forms, and a cool sense of 'flow'. I really like how you've used dof here, having the one bit sharp, and the blurry vagueness everywhere else. Neat pic! my guess- a plant in an aquarium? :-)

I really like the top half of this picutre but would have been tempted to crop the bottom half off altogether as I find it detracts from the picture. I have no idea what it is, A part of a plant??

Amazingly shallow DOF.I assume it is a weed or plant of some kind.
