Default Complex thistle composition.
How should I crop this complex macro of a thistle? Would you crop out the top third or bottom third? Or is the composition just fine in it's complexity?
Any other comments much appreciated.

Mike

I am not sure I would call this a complex shot. Certainly the flower is complex, but the composition is what I call a Radial Composition; that is, one that originates from a central location and radiates out from that point. Nevertheless, whatever we call it, it's a nice shot giving us a view into a flower most of us never see.

Thanks everyone! I was concerned that the bottom of the image was competing with the top of the image. Thanks to your comments, she stays as is...
