I like the combination of colors and textures in this image. Its a Fall color photo that has unconventional Fall color elements. I do sort of wish the depth of field was larger. The fuzziness of the background elements doesn’t work as well for me. But overall, very nice.

Jim, this is a fine look at a field of fall Teasel with a good selection of colors. Teasel fields do offer interesting drama and this takes advantage of that well. The three trees in the midground add both color and depth. You can easily “fix” the snags in the upper right with an 8.5 x 11 crop, keeping everything on the left.
