This is wonderful mixed media presentation of the humble thistle. You have framed it well. Light and sharpness are very effective in creating a lovely capture. Thanks for sharing!

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that beautiful bloom. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely created!

I find this a beautiful colored light purple thistle with long spikes. You have done a wonderful job presenting this blossom with full highlights. It stands out against the darkness, Love your work, Ray

Although classed as environmental weeds I do love the thistle flowers and your image is well presented. The clarity of the flower is shown well and the black background complements the purple.

The thistle is one of my favorite blooms of summer. Your magical trick of levitating this flower is outstanding. The use of the black background without the use of any visible support is the key to this great post.

Hi Annie, Love that color. Dramatic short scale contrast really makes the blossom pop against the black background.

Focusing is sharp and even across the entire frame. Brightness is eye pleasing.

Alas the poor Thistle, reviled and cursed at by some when all it wants to do is bloom and be lovely.

Fine photography ... Bob
