Beautifully focused. Love the shape of this weed, as you call it. Lighting is interesting the way it kind of highlights the leaves. Great shot.

I like how you can see so many of the individual prickles and petals.

I loved this right from the thumbnail! The backlighting really showcases the "prickly" nature of this weed. Very sharp and good image all around.

Yes, thistles are great subjects. You did a good job on this one.

Very interesting and beautiful. It looks prickly but soft at the same time. Nicely done.

Thistles; one of my favorite weeds because they attract some great butterflies and moths. Plus their texture and shape are always interesting. Like the backlighting; agree that this is a bit oversharpened.

Bull Thistle I do believe. The black background really makes this pop.

Well composed shot. I like the black background with this lighting choice. Backlighting is a bit strong.

Definitely an interesting choice. Composition- very good. Maybe a tad over sharpened.
