Hi Christian,
Just popped in for a look and was pleasantly surprised to see your Carlina here.
A lovely clear shot of a species I'm not familiar with.
Jolly good!
Cheers,
Steve

Hello Christian,
A well composed image!
Macro work is well done, resulting in fine details in the subject and a non-intrusive background...
Good natural colours and fine textures in the petals!

This is a new plant to me Taz. A Silver thistle - I have seen some large thistles growint in special places but not one like this. Well displayed, nice and sharp too - and so are its prickles too!!! You wouldn't want to sit on it, would you? Good job my friend
Have a good weekend

Hi Christian,
An outstanding composition on this Silver Thistle. The subtle colors are beautiful, and detail in the flower is excellent. I love how well you can see the OOF mountains in the backround. That really makes the shot for me. Nice one!!

Hello Christian!

Great looking thistle my friend. As always quality is very high, I like composition with blurred mountains on BG. I know these flowers very well because we've got similiar ones in Botanic Garden. Very good work!

Hi Christian.
This shot is wonderful. I like clear colours of the flower and great perspective. The mountains, which are seen in the distance, are very expressive. DOF and POV are excellent. Colour palette is rich and impressive.. My compliments and TFS.

Hi Christian
Fancy this, I have seen many thistles in pinks, purples, greens, etc., but never have I seen a silver one. This is something new to me so thanks for the introduction. On my monitor it looks somewhat more creamish-white than silver, but I suppose it has something to do with the angle of the light or the overall reflection of the light coming from the cloudy sky.
This is a fine close-up and it clearly shows the lovely details of the specimen. You have done very well with the exposure considering the fact that you obviously had some very soft light to work with.
Good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Excellent composition Christian. Good focus and nicely exposed. If I was after perfection I would say the white patch of sky is a little bit distracting, but I don't think there was a lot you could do about that. Anyway, this really is an excellent picture. Well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

Hi Christian,
Beautiful way to present this dried thistle. Almost white thistle against green background produce an excellent result. Perfect composition, light, details and colores. Congratulations!

Hello Christian,
You've really got a brilliant shot of this thistle which I've seen in the Austrian alps.
They're so beautiful. Very nice composition and it is very sharp standing out from the background.
Many thanks, Ulla
