I agree with everyone who said the long lens makes it pop (nice shallow DoF), but I also agree including a bit more of it in the frame (so zooming out slightly or stepping back a bit) might have strengthened the composition a bit.
This is just stunning, and such wonderful "DOF" in this one.....
I also love the tight crop, and the textures alone are really great, and so is this image.....
I know what you mean about the zoom but only because the top of the thistle has been cut off a little, I really like this though, the colours are great and the detail is beautiful.
Wow, I LOVE this! I'm one that tends to love those close cropped "in yoru face" photos. They just jump right out at you. I love the way the earth tones blend with that beautiful blue background. This is a great shallow depth of field photo.
Dipsacus fullonum or common teasel an essential part of the Industrial Revolution because it was used in cotton mills to comb seeds out of the cotton heads.
I don't think that you zoomed in too much at all. By using longer focal length, you have reduced DOF and put the sharpness right where it does the most good.
I also like "da border,".. girl : )
Beautiful, I like the fact it is so close, the shapes and the textures really add to the shot, all the lines and different tones make it such a pleasure to look at.
