Thistle at Sunset

Description


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.

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! #3834973
