Excllent DOF and thistle detail with a fine three-dimensional quality. Lovely background and color contrast.

Nice portrait of this thistle. Nice DOF and clean BG. Nicely done.

Hi

A nicely executed and produced shot that works - my personal tastes would lean towards a more pastel less contrasting lighting look, but that's just me

All the best
Matthew

Beautiful colour, light and detail- right down to the strands of spider silk!

V.nice image; both you and Tom with his close up of the thistle, have captured the the richness of the flower's colour. When I've photographed a butterfly feeding on a thistle I loose the depth of colour on the flower & can't seem to recreate when post editing.
