That is such a wonderful picture, the focus, everything I am speachless. It really didn't match up with the theme though. But I'm still going to give you a 9! (shhhhhh!)
Very very nice work. I usually dont care for flower picks ( if you can call thistle a flower) but when one is done well I have to appreciate it. The colors are fantastic, The focus is well distributed and the bokeh is very complimentary. Great Image.
