This year sun is burning many areas and the South of Spain is not an exception. Here we have high tempetuures but not so many consecutive days and nights. This thistle is one of last surviving flowers.

I don't know its id. so any help will be welcome.

Have a nice and fresher weekend!
José M.

PS. I have included a WS to show where is the thistle. This point is at 1200 m high.

Hi Jose,
It's very hot here today too. No idea on the ID but it's a beautiful flower, quite spectacular. The centre is amazing, so intricate. Nice light and good exposure, contrast is spot-on I think. A nice shot!

Interesting thistle, interesting composition, I think that the colours saturation is a bit to high, I would like to see that thistle with softer light.

Hi José.
Brillinat work. A tistle can look very good like this. Here is really too hot and we ran away from Bursa to Uludag (2543 m high) Here is very cold now. We are setting on fire a stove. During the Bursa and its lowland burning we are cold here. That is fantastic. You can come here as our guest. Welet you feel cold :).
Greetings.

Hi Jose,
You need sunglasses for this bright yellow! Great color saturation and sharp detail. I have never observed a yellow thistle.
Nice work!

Hi Jose,
You make the flower look really good through your pleasant macro work, giving fine interesting details!
Well framed and with good strong colours, almost a 3D effect in this fine image!

Hola José,
Todo el resto de la planta esta ya seca, y lo raro es que en el centro queda vida: Bonitas colores y buena nitidez. Agradecido y saludos

Hi Jose,

It's amazing to look so close to see all the beauty of this flower.
Thanks and bye

Hi Jose, I like the fact that this is surrounded by thorns and then there is a flower that looks like a burst of sunshine. Great colours and details, good work my friend and TFS.

Hola Jose !
This flower is wonderful, I have never seen it before. The shape and colors of the middle are amazing. Excellent details, composition and POV too. Let's hope you'll have some rain soon - here it is raining for one week now, after more than a month of hot and dry weather.

Simple, bella, luminosa... una agradable presentación José con una fuerte iluminación que no impide disfrutar de los detalles de esta flor.
Un cuadro bien apretado (como personalmente me agradan) y buena nitidez completan una imagen destacable.
Saludos... Ricardo

Hi Jose,

Hi Jose.
Great close-up, Jose. Extremely wide the range of light and shadow, excellent reproduction the smallest details of the flower, that is too difficult in yellow colours. The shot is very well exposed, its saturation and contrast are perfect. Very well done and TFS.

not seen a yellow thistle before. I like the way you have caught this one. It is wonderfully sharp with great DOF.
