Weeds along the ditch

Have been working this roadside along a drainage ditch this week some neat stuff there. I like this one and thought I'd post it to see what anyone else thought. Not a clue about the ID, will have to check it out. Wish there was a bit more in focus.

My thoughts for what they're worth: The light is a bit harsh, were you focusing on the berries? I've been practicing in noon day sun, by playing with the white balance and the exposure comp control. Like I said, just my two cents.

I like your composition with the black background and on the left side, but have to agree with Bruce on the lighting, Kendall. In cases like this, underexposing and a different white balance setting might do the trick, along with a change in aperture to get more of the flowers in focus.
My first thought is that this is Queen Anne's Lace, but I could be wrong.

I like the dark BG - but a much smaller aperture would have increased the DoF to bring more into focus.

Both because of how it looks and where it's growing I suspect this is Water Hemlock - a very, very poisonous plant if eaten.

It looks like it's part of the Aster family: either Boneset or Tall Thoroughwort. I'm leaning toward the latter. Not sure though.

I like the strong contrast between the BG and the flowers. And, as has been said, the lighting is a bit harsh. Interesting that you received three different potential IDs on this one.

After doing some checking, I have to agree with Deb that this is Thoroughwort. The leaves fit, as do the clusters of flowerettes.
