The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Very fine capture with high artistic quality, Doug. Mixture of green parts of the thistle and nicely blurred green background look beautiful. Glossy look of the leaves very well captured. And presentation is very good.
Some people have Gurus, I have my camera. Through the cam lenses I have learnt to deeply perceive life, not only to see, but to look at all expressions of nature, becoming able to read the poetry of the flowers, receiving the embrace of the trees and flying above the clouds without wings! - Susie Sun
