In my garden I have a few Teasels, designed with Goldfinchs in mind.
Just at this moment though they are attracting several different varietys of bee.

90mm Tamron with ext tube hand held. With difficulty I might add.

Hi Major

An excellent macro shot, great detail and sharpness (maybe a tad over sharpened but on my monitor it looks fine). I like the detail and colour in the flower head, and a good composition too.

Extra marks for getting such good sharpness handheld, it ain't easy.

cheers

Hello Major
I wish my hand was as steady as that! Very nice macro work, possibly just a tiny bit over sharpened?
Best wishes
