Photographer’s Note
I took this today in some fields near my house here in Yakima, Washington. I thought these thistles looked good with their burnt golden color against the blue sky. No post processing except cropping, framing and resizing. Hope you like it!

Wow, great work. I love the fact that only the closest thistle is in focus but also only peeking into the frame. The composition is wonderful and so are the colors. I really don't like thistles though- I played flag football today and got them in my shoes- it really hurt. BUT, you made a thistle look amazing so, great job!

Hi Philip,
Great shot. I like especially contrast between thistles and beautiful sky and whole idea for composition. TFS. maki

Hi Philip,
Very nice picture. I like the composition and your low POV and the contrast they make against the sky. Good colors and light. Well done
