Teasel comb

Gallery: FloraPosted March 15, 2011105 views15 comments

The teasel is an invasive species here in the states, but there may be some benefits for medicinal properties I have read. Time will tell, I guess.

5d, 28-135mm w/macro, handheld,

Comments and critiques always welcome, and thanks for looking,

Morris

Absolutely beautiful colors Morris! I like how the BG complements the teasel.
Excellent sharpness for handheld!

W, that BG is just perfect to set the teasel off.

Excellent bokeh which makes it look like a painting and the fine detail is superb on the subject

Beautifully composed Morris, and the blurred complementary color of the BG works great too!

This has all the clarity of a botanical illustration, Morris, the plant set off against the perfect bg. An invasive species has no right to be so compelling ( smile ! )
