This image has a lovely warm glow and really feels like a field in autumn. I think that in order to really "pop" the focus on the tip of the teasle and the yellow seed head needs to be a bit crisper--the softness seems to push it toward blending with the background. There are also a few distracting elements in the composition especially around the edges, but the most egregious of these is the dard green leaves of another plant in the upper right hand corner. Overall, this has such a warm-day feeling to it that I almost want to excuse the flaws.

Fine closeup shot of the thistle, great depth of field. Unfortunately, the green in the shot destroys the complementary colour contrast between the violet and the yellow colours.

Beautiful thistle. Good DOF for isolation.

I've come back to this several times to try to figure out why I love it so much. Generally, flora doesn't really grab me, but this is definitely one of my favorite images of the challenge. I think it must be the lighting, which is spectacular.

Nice. A little bit of curves and a slightly smaller aperture would've been really nice.
Nevertheless. It's a nice shot with good contrast between the colours.. Though the idea of "Complementary colours" isn't showing that much.
