Globe Thistle

Beyond words !!
What a beauty Keith.

Thank you Jaap..........very kind as always.

splendid

Happy weekend, peace!

Thanks Annemarie.

Yes, it's like staring at one of those 3d pictures :-))
I love the way it fans out in a starburst from the middle and is enhanced by the
smooth backdrop! The gardens at Hinton Ampner House must have been really
beautiful Keith.

Enjoy your weekend and your trip next week. Our dog sitting is over now. I'm
missing her already, even though she wore me out ;-))

Glad to see I'm not the only one who sees the effect. I didn't notice it until I got in on the computer screen.

Thank you for your lovely comments...........and yes, the greens there are always beautiful.

I know what you mean about dog sitting.........we had our older daughter's dog last weekend :-). He pretty good, but never quite settles down when he's away from his "Mum". I think he's always glad to get away home!

It looks like we're in for a rainy week in Exmouth.....but we'll still get out and about when we can!

Oh,jetzt hab ich mich fast verletzt,beim Betrachten deiner tolle Nahaufnahme lieber Keith,diese Kugel dieser Distel kommt mit den Details richtig schön rüber und für ein sehr schönes Bokeh hast du auch gesorgt und sie toll freigestellt,es ist ja eine Schönheit :))

Wünsche noch ein schönes Wochenende,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Ha, ha.......it's a really weird effect isn't it? Glad you like the photo though Güni...........and thanks for your kind words.

Maravillosa

Thank you kind sir!

This gardens must be splendid******************** Thinking of you :

They are indeed.........and a pleasure to visit. Thank you Roséha.

Mesmerising!!! I might be a while ...

Ha, ha...........thanks Maggie...........assuming you're able to read this of course :-)))

So wonderful shape and tones!
Amazing light and image in 3D too, Keith!

Thanks Judite. I didn't see the effect until I got the photo on my computer screen! Glad you like it though :-)

You're welcome John.

Very good! It seems to come out of the screen.... Yes, looking at it for a while makes the photo seem to move;-)

Ha, ha...........yes, it's a really odd effect that I didn't notice until it was on the computer screen. Glad you like it though..........thanks Gudrun.

Could keep it as inside decoration for December festivities !
Perfect focus IMHO

Ha, ha..............I never thought of that Isabel. Thanks for your kind comments!

Fabulous capture Keith it looks as though it is about to explode !
Amazing detail and lovely colours with superb bokeh, and as sharp as it comes!
I suspect it will still be beautiful when it reaches maturity !

Thoroughly enjoyed this excellent capture ! Have a good weekend,

Thank you as always Roger...........glad you like this one!

Amazing, Keith ! Really a beautiful macro !

Many thanks Ulrich.........glad you think so.

Einfach großartig!

Thank you kind sir!

This is a simply stunning photo of this globe thistle, Keith. Yes - I looked at it in "BIG" and it did look a bit strange in my eyes.

Glad you like it so much Jenny............thanks very much.

mijn neef heeft deze om zijn vijver staan om reigers te weren--en het helpt
mooie opname keith

That seems like a good idea. I'm glad you like the photo Fred.

What beauty, we have some just showing last week, a week of rain so far, perhaps two days of sunshine will bring them to life

Thanks Colin...............I hope yours turn out well.

Excellent picture!!

Thanks Eunice.

Un éblouissement.
