Very nice Gerry. Composition, background separation from the subject, color contrast are all strong points.

excellent capture again Gerry and I especially like that you set it to the right - very good clarity and composition.

Hi Gerry
Being a practical man I don't like these things because I can clearly remember the feel of their sting many years later. They are common in Scotland, and rare far down south. A 1st class macro shot, and I particulary like the lush flower on the right stem.

Life's around said Phil the 35 millimetre cameraman. I recently went to the doctors, and said I've got icon fever, but he told me there was no cure for the disease.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

This is as sharp as a tack. The colors are brilliant and I personally gave this a 10 in the voting booth. :)

The past is only a memory, the future a fantasy. it's only in the present that we truly live.

Beautiful shot. I like the framing of the thistle, it adds to the feeling of power in this image. Very cute. :)
