Great sharpness and color. I like the blur background and the white on the tip of the flower. -9

This is a magical thistle with perfect DoF to blur the background and the repeating thistle pattern. Exposure = PERFECT. Composition on the diagonal is an excellent choice.

Even if the idea is far from original (flower) the color subtility and the technical execution is flawless... seem like a8

This is the third thistle shot I have come across (so far) and they are all excellent.
Good subject, well captured.

Nice sharp focus. Doesn't suffer from oversharpening or noise/grain. Flower in background a little too blurred for my taste. Nicely done.
