You have very interesting light and great color.
Well seen from the BG with excellent DOF, sharp detail, and I like the close framing in your macro as well..
Very well done.

Hola José.
Superb macro. All details are in their place. It's very intersant to hear that this wild plant was used as food. It is simply a thistle.

Saludos.

Otro gran ejemplo de una macro de una flor con impactantes detalles y colorido como puntos fuertes de la imagen.
Me agrada el POV elegido, perpendicular a la misma y un cuadro bien apretado para resaltar aun más la belleza de la misma.
Otro detalle destacable es el aprovechamiento de la luz sin sobrexposición alguna.
Felicitaciones Jose.
Saludos cordiales... Ricardo

A nivel descriptivo esta es una foto perfecta, y en lo que se refiere al fotografico, has sacado una gran dosis de belleza de este cardo. Tiene mucho merito conseguir fotos de especies increibles en los confines del mundo, pero tambián lo tiene encontrar la belleza en las cosas más simples.
PD: Yo lo hubiera rotado ligeramente para conseguir la verticalidad.

Hola José,
El primer plano de la flor es muy bueno, artístico. Me gusta la iluminación casi desde atrás, como llena la imágen, los colores del cardo y el fondo, todo acompañado de bunos detalles.

Humilis... ma sembra un re incoronato! Un po' di gloria per questi fiori troppo spesso snobbati data la bontà delle piante!!

Muy buen macro, la nitidez es óptima, y los colores muy bonitos. De todas maneras creo que debías haber intentado tomar la foto al lado iluminado de la planta, los colores estarían más saturados..., creo.

Hi José

You must have been really hungry to eat one of these items (chuckle).

Amazing camera work MF.

You made magnificent use of the vertical composition to portrait this weed in all its glorious beauty. The cropping was very thoughtfully executed to ensure maximum visual focus on the subject. The colours are stunning and that lilac crown against the darkish BG is absolutely brilliant. The details are superb and the exposure was perfectly controlled resulting in remarkable contrast even in the shaded areas.

Very well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot
