This odd "weed" had something unique that caught my eye, I took a picture with a standard lens but didn't capture what I was looking for, switched to the 50mm F/1.8 and got exactly what I wanted, the branches are so delicate and detailed with the completely blurred background thanks to the F/1.8 aperture.

I love this image... it's both too 'unworldly' to be clear on what I'm seeing (cotton w/the pod removed?) and too 'this worldly' to make it unimportant to identify. The sharp wisps and black strands clearly add to this effect ... I'm curious how others will see this, but it really grabs me.
