My home state has some of the prettiest flowers, here are 2 samples that I took while there on my last visit. Of course we all know what 1 is..the awesome sunflower and 2 is the pods of Thistle, which have not burst forwards yet with all their tiny black seeds. Thanks for looking and as always and C&C is appreciated.

While I love them both I really love the thistle shot. There is just something about it that really appeals to me

May I ask how you framed your shots like that? I'm new to all this photography stuff

I am a big fan of the colours, DOF, composition and FLOWER in your first photo here.
