I really like this one. I like the blurred background, and the sharp focus of the thistle. Lighting in situations like this can be very challenging, and i'd have loved to see a bit more light on the subject itself. Having said that, your lighting choices did not detract anything. Someone commented that your photo was "not well centered".
Well, GOOD! I espically like the positioning here. I like the subject on the left, and the big black splotch on the right. It lends a subtle balance.
All in all, I think you were ripped off, by at least .25, if not a full half a point or more. |

| Very good DOF and focus. May have a little better look if the stem came from the left lower and then the head ending at the top right third |

| This dark border makes it like looking through a window from the inside. A lighter or no border at all would allow the viewer to wander more and imagine the surroundings where its eye is lead and give a greater sense of space to the composition. |

| I guess the blurry branches kind of lead to the subject. Pretty good. |

| Love this, really nice use of leading lines without "making" the lines in an artificial way. Good composition and angle also! |

| I love these thistles...or whatever they are called. Interesting subject. |

| A slight tilt so the stem comes right out of the corner and a more exaggerated diagonal would have made this a 10. Otherwise, very nice! |

| Nice shot! I like the grey tone and the placement of the subject. I really like the background it gives it a dreary feel which makes the title perfect for the photo. |
