I considered this shot for this month's blog header, but I went with the oblong gourd instead. I simply thought it was more visually interesting.
Regular blog readers know I've been trying to improve my macro and depth of field skills. This shot is borderline macro, but I did get a nice background blur.
I've been experimenting with all my lenses, and this shot was done with the basic kit lens. It performed better than expected and is an underrated lens.
