I like this, Don. The contrast couldn't be more obvious, even aside from the sharp thorn vs. the soft flower. Color, linear vs. round, etc. are all dichotomies. Well done!

Nice DOF. Love the slight color in the background. The purple flower on the right really pops out.

You have mixed two species for this shot. Spotted Knapweed does not have thorns.
Therefore I don't see a true dichotomy here in the image, hence the low score. 3
