Nice Surprise

I plucked a twig of flower to practice my giraffe shot with and then left it. Afterwards, I decided to get a proper shot of it and this is how it turned out! I got the morning sun to give it good lighting. It is so small you really can't see the centre. To show you the whole bush where it came from, I've posted a shot of it at the same time as this one
