[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note

Asteraceae (Compositae)

Seems nearest to a Cirsium sp. but not quite.

Internet is so slow here, I gave up on checking photo databases; ID anyone? Ori, you must know :)

If you look closely, though the sepals are out of focus, you can still see that a spider was busy decorating them.

I really like the colours and the main focus in this pic. If you could increase your dof a little it may help with the pic as a whole.

Hi Betty
Seems you find all these wonderful little plants. Well captured. The thistles is such a confusing group as there are so many of them that look so much alike and this one seems not completely opened yet. However, I was wondering if this is not maybe closer to a Silybum sp, but I'm no expert in this field so unfortunately I can not help any further.
Your composition is good having the flower slightly to the right. The colours are nice and exposure & lighting levels are quite fine. Slight pity that your DOF did not include the petals and the 4 thorny leaves as I think with a bit more detail there it might have improved the end result considerably, but that might have impacted on the OOF BG again.
Good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot
