Thistle seedhead C 1598_015 crop - a photo on Flickriver

            Thistle seed head.

Only the height has been cropped; width is as original image.

Taken at different apertures.
I like to use larger to throw background out , as  I like that effect but sometimes I find 'd of f' not enough, so I am still learning !

This image at f/5.6 is my preferred image and intention.

More or less as taken to differentiate between aperture settings, that is, clarity, texture not adjusted.

All handheld., no image stabilisation etc.
Taken on short walk from home.

Taken on: August 22, 2025
