Thistle

Westerville, Ohio

A thistle, with its bright crown, is covered with dew and backlit
by the sun breaking through the early morning fog. The thistle
was in a field at Sharon Woods Metro Park near Columbus, Ohio.

This is really beautiful and evocative image, Pat!
I love your use of shallow DOF which produces
a deliciously sensuous background blur/bokeh.
Compositionally strong, with the florals running
gracefully up the diagonal; good perspective;
Ravishing but natural colour; nice tones.
Outstanding!
Congratulations.
Voted
