23/365 - Buds

I've been thinking about these buds from the tree from beside our house for about a week now. I know that they'll make as a good subject for my 365 photo challenge. So, while the sun was shining beautifully, I took the chance to getting out of the house and took this snap.

My intention for today's shot was to get a focus on the buds and get the surrounding buds to blur. With how this image came out, I was able to deliver what I wanted. Although if I have it my way, I would love to delete the spec that can be seen in the lower right hand corner. I've tried to clone it but it just didn't suit well.

Well, if someone can share how to make it go away, that'll be one thing in my list that'll be checked off. This 365 photo challenge is not just about taking one photo a day. It's all about learning the in's and out's of the art of photography.
