~Tall Thistle~ [Contest Finalists June 2007]
Uploaded: June 13, 2007 14:28:57
This is another weed here in Missouri, that I find to be pretty and has so much color. Gold finches love the seeds and also use the fluffy down to line their nests. This was taken hand held on RAW, 1/125, F7, ISO200 and macro lens. I used PS to convert to jpeg, curves, levels and sharpen. Have a wonderful day!
