Wire flower?

I was thinking of a previous macro shot of a flower (here), whilst I was using a wire brush attachment on my electric drill to clean old paint off some wrought iron.

It struck me (an idea - not the wire brush, fortunately!) that the brush when viewed end-on looked rather like the stamens of a flower. So of course it had to be blipped :)

(It was already effectively in B&W as there was no colour in it, but looked better with a bit of tweaking.)

Best viewed large.
