Thistle at Sunset [Contest Finalists January 2007]
Uploaded: January 18, 2007 01:41:04
This thistle silhouette was captured yesterday evening as the sun set over Mosquito Lake, Ohio. I liked the unique silhouette of the thistle and the Bokeh from the sunlight reflected on the ripples.

Nice capture, Don. Love the sunset and how it makes a silhouette with the thistle. Beautiful colors.Nadya Johnson January 18, 2007
Excellent! The silhouette is perfect and the scattering of light makes this image very stunning. So it's called Bokeh. Hmm! I always called it "lens effect" but now I know it has a better name. Nice work, Donald! #3834973Karen E. Michaels January 18, 2007
I like and agree with your description; you get alot of great backlighting for your thistle from the reflection. Very well thought out indeed. Peace, karenLynne Morris January 18, 2007
