Pins & Petals

[SpaceNut]

About 2 months ago when I was the station (from work) I noticed this plant outside with pink flowers & silver pin-like stems with little balls on top (like you'd find on top of a flag pole. Reminded me of pins in a pin cushion. So I took a few shots. I didn't have my tripod so I made an attempt to capture the flower holding the camera as still as I could. Don't remember the settings! What do you think? C/C welcome. Thanks for looking!

Great capture for being hand held, standing perfectly still is very difficult. Nice DOF on this as well. Nicely done!

This is a cool little flower. It does look like a pin cushion. Good capture.
