I'm not much of a Foofy 'Fotographer' however, I do like to contribute when something strikes my fancy. Sorry for not being knowledgeable in flower species as I don't know what these are. They look pretty good in full view. I would appreciate any critique or suggestions on how to improve on this image. As always, thanks for looking.

Doug, I wish I could tell you what they are, but I'm not sure either. I think you did good on this one, it has good detail, natural color tones, and well composed. =^..^=tigs♥

There is nothing to improve here Doug. The details are clear, photo has some depth and the foofies look unusual and lovely.

It is a 'Thistle'...this happens after the flowers die off!

Excellent capture of this...I also like to foto these!

Beautiful capture Doug - these seeds will someday be many, many blooms, but they are pretty on their own.

That's a simple story Doug: don't change anything with respect to how you've treated this image because it's a very good, detailed, and presented Foofy Friday one. Well done my friend.

PS: see that Bob already has provided you with the solution for the proper Foofy name. Because the thistle has died, it has become a collectors item now, lol

Not much of a foofy but a great looking close up with natural colours and very nice composition too.

Definitely a post-bloom thistle Doug and I have no critique as this gets high marks for photographic quality.

I think it was Bogie and Bacall's favorite flower. If they needed one another, all they had to do was "thistle." That's whistle with a lisp.
Good one Gibbs.
