Freeze dried

I don't really know what this plant is but I liked the look of it, even though it was dried up and frosted. I was practising with my new camera, with a wide aperture to get a shallow depth of field. It's not easy (for me!) getting the point of focus in the right place. There's a joystick thingy that you can move around to shift the focus point but I'm not very dextrous with it yet. I quite like the effect that the lens gives to the background blur. It has a different appearance from that produced by my previous camera.
