Default Flower and Thistle
These are a few of the shots I took today at a nearby ranch. The flower is from a mustard weed, I believe, the next two are a thistle flower and bud.

Your critique is appreciated.

What critique?? lol these flower shots have beautiful colors and the composition on all three is perfect to me. Love the bright yellow with the pale green background in the first, the rich purple of the puff ball flowers in the second, and the spiky looking leaves/petals of the last along with great DoF you won't get any critique from me.

Thanks Kimi. Believe it or not I am a little intimidated by all the talent I see in this forum and hesitate to present my own work.

I felt that way too and then i met a fellow by the name of JakethePig ha ha who was like a one man welcoming party to DPS and i warmed up to sharing. You can feel comfortable here we're all just a bunch of friendly people who love taking photos and love looking at what others take as well. and you take great pics! Kimi

Great shots, always love thistle shots even though I rank them right up there with kudzu as they will take over the world if you let them.
