Nice shot! The extremely shallow DOF works really well here, and the greyish colours somehow give the picture a winter feeling (even though it's probably far from cold right now in Melbourne).

Bonsai, huh? My first thought was a pair of viper's fangs dripping venom. Glad it's bonsai.

Is that a reflection of yourself in the 'rain' drops? Then you can also submit it to the self-portrait TOPE event. :0 Very nice work!

Wow, a 16 year old who likes bonsai and old cameras. The computer skills were expected. Very nice concept and formatting. I thought it was a cactus before I read the subject information.
