Hi Christopher, beautiful shot and great combination of colors. The softness in this image instills movement within the radial burst and matches well with the composition. Well done.

A beautiful burst that draws the eye deep into the centre of the thistle. Excellent use of a complementary colour background. A simple but effective composition. Good work.

Christopher, this is a wonderful image with great textures and colours, with complementary colours for subject and background in a pleasing combination. The shape suits the symmetrical composition so that the attention is squarely on the detail of the flower rather than its position in the frame. DOF is effective to give depth to your image and background. There's a hierarchy of textures from the multiple fine points within each larger point and the 'shafts' of each one. Good one.
