Sharp focus on the thistle and good bokeh here too, Christian.

Christian, the focus of the main subject is very good, with such a good background. Tigs♥ =^..^=

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

It's lovely and interesting subject material, Christian.It will show considerably more prominence with a tighter crop. Removing half the space from the left border to the closest part of the subject, and again, halfway from the top to nearest part of subject. The crops decentralize the prime subject, allowing the viewer to fully experience the subject without having their eyes drawn to the large open area on the left.

I saw so many of these type plants on my prairie walks this summer Christian - a wonderful image - better than any of my thistle shots.
