Stop bothering me!

Simba was peacefully sleeping in his bed when I got down and stuck my camera in his face! I think his look says, "Leave me alone!"

To answer the question of what my abstract was: it was indeed a maple tree as guessed by Lifenaturally! As to my technique, if you want to call it that: I set my camera on manual focus and manual aperature with slow shutter speed. And then I sneezed which caused the camera to slide down as the photo was being taken!
