I considered these other two, but I decided to go with the "safer" image. I really like the other two - how do you think they would have fared compared to the Thistle?
I like the first one the best, but it has to much tree at the top of the photo. Maybe crop just a bit to keep it from being so busy. I loved your submitted photo. Awesome!
Your Thistle shot is awesome! You made the right choice in submitting it. Your other two shots are lacking something, I can't quite pinpoint it, maybe they are too busy with no main item to focus on.
