What dazzles the eyes here is the extreme colors.. and so gorgeous!

Not truly in focus, but who cares! the fact that these two Glow Globes really do glow!

I'm finding this piece very delightful!

This shot of a Blue Glow Globe Thistle is truly amazing! I enjoy this one as much as your friend did. Tremendous depth, excellent composition, amazing colors. Deserves to be moved into all time best category. Sorry for not having any sixes for it.

This is a wonderful shot of the flowers. You have framed it well. Light and sharpness are very effective in creating a lovely capture. Thanks for sharing!

These blue thistles look truly lovely, and the remind me a bit of alliums. I especially like the selective focus on the pretty blooms which has come out, and also how well the thistles are standing out from the softened background.

The focus is spot on and sharp showing truly clear and well defined details in the blooms, and the exposure is perfect.

The photo is nicely cropped and the main flower has got a fine placement off to the right, balanced by the soft one on the left. I think this is a lovely and well taken photo Jodi, and with an excellent DOF.

Nice focusing here. Just that little bit in focus. tells the story of this flower. It almost looks like you took the in focus flower copy and put it in a new picture. Very nice

    Thanks so much for your comments and review! Yes the perspective change I used made the little flowers look like they were inserted.

    Good job

Love this image of the purple thistle. Your composition is excellent with the larger bloom top focused sharply with blurring of the background. Color is most unusual and stands out well against the green.

Cool flowers! Cool shot! I love the close pieces that are in total focus and then how the rest is blurred or hazy. Makes the shot much more interesting!
Very artistic and well done.

Jodi,
A beautiful picture of this Blue Globe Thistle ~ Echinops bannaticus showing the beauty of the florets as they open their star shaped petals that are standing out clearly from the still closed buds & it's blurred green background. Artistic composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Susan

This is a lovely view of your Blue glow thistle. The photo has a dreamlike quality to it. Good focus, clarity and texture. Nice digital work. Your placement and perspective is good. Although, I would experiment with the perspective and perhaps show a little more of the flower. Nice technique.
Pleasing to view.

Wonderful manipulating of exposure, sharpness, color filter, and blurred features. The beautifully colored glow globe thistle with a hint of purple is beautiful. The background is really done well but I would have liked the stem of the larger plant to show more. Yet, well done.
