While checking the neighbors blooms, this captured my eye looking like a thumbs up wanting to be taken.
D80, 18-270 @ 78, F22 @1/3 sec, ISO 100, tripod

The composition and color are nice, but it looks very soft.

I really couldn't get what I wanted from this Richard, I just thought the center looked like a person holding a thumb up, so I took it. Kinda a grab shot..

Nicely seen. I guess we have to call it "1" thumbs up. :wink:

I like the concept, but wish it was sharp. It really should have been more sharp on a tripod, but maybe the wind was moving it too much for your shutter speed. I also like the comp and the colors. I'll go with Bob, with 1 thumb up. :smile:

Love the color palette and the mood Robert. I do agree about the motion blur but it's sitll and interesting an appealing image.

Very nice composition and colours. IMO the center part is a bit OOF (???). :wink:

Bob: I wonder if you suffered from mirror slap as this ought to be sharper at f22 and on a tripod. Whatever, it is a cool find and certainly worth a thumb up. >=))>

Bob:
Nice concept. Yes I can see the thumb. Wish its a little sharper - looks like some vibration artefact.
