I love the teasel with the golden sky behind it, Sandy. The out of focus teasel and gray bottom don’t do much for me and I wish there had been a way for you to get a little lower and enough to one side to get a clear shot of the teasel head and most of the stem against that sky without the out of focus intruder.
Yup another photobomb. Normally I like an Out-of-focus echo, which is my term for this kind of technique, but in this case it detracts from what might have been a carefully planned image. The webs don’t have the same effect for me. The second flower just looks like a mistake. Classic look though of all that spikiness. Dennis hit it - maybe lower so there is more color, only one flower and a bolder presentation.
Wow @SandyR-B ! Nice work on the edit. I love those plants despite their invasive status here in Montana. I love the color gradient in the background too.
