You don't need to go any closer PJ. It looks fine as it is. The purple colour of the flower shows off well against the green.

"Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm really better than them."--Marilyn Monroe
Lovely bright colour well captured :-)

PJ, this image looks simple, but to me it's a refined image. Love the clarity and the contrast. Regards, Cornelius

PJ, I had one of those in my back yard. Best way to crop is with an ax. Nice shot.

well PJ if this is cropped then the whole photograph was excellently captured and perfectly in focus! No loss with the cropping has occurred from what I can see! The colour of the single thistle head is beautiful against the dark green!

Very nice, PJ. Great clarity and color. That touch of purple in your frame works well, too.

Beautiful colors. I love the lighting and the frame is perfect.

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
Very nice, PJ. Love the textures and lighting, and the flower itself is stunning.

Several of my photos are available for purchase in larger format at Shutterpoint, and some are also available in high quality framed prints at http://djholmes.imagekind.com/
What a beautiful thistle! Even those nasty weeds have their beautiful side, don't they?

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY
Hi PJ,
Well cropped indeed ! The light & shadows are lovely on the flower, I can almost touch it :)
PJ, I like the frame too.

Surfs Up,

I like how you kept the flower offset a little to the right. All the green in the background really frames the purple thistle really well. Another good one!!

As a wise man once said, "Wherever you go, there you are."
Pretty flower, but I remember having to chop thistles on the farm. Don't like those sticky little buggers.

Very very new to this, and only have a bog standard fuji 2mb digi camera.
That's a pretty little thing PJ, especially for a thistle, and you did a great job of bringing out its color. =)

Evey Hammond: Who are you?
V: Who? Who is but the form following the function of what, and what I am is a man in a mask.
Evey Hammond: Well I can see that.
V: Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation, I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.
