Thistles are very prickly plants and I don't like to go near them, but their flowers are very soft in comparison - and I think this image implies that difference.

| July 26, 2010 @ 2:53pm | Thank you both for commenting. I liked the softness of the flower contrasting with the sharp thorns.
This was taken with an old bellows type lensbaby (which accounts for a lot of the blur) My technique in these shots is to lean in as close as possible to get a sharp focus then lean in some more and sort of pull the bellows OUT to get the macro effect.
