Keeping it simple is best !!

That's me Jaap :-))

Belle réussite.

Glad you think so Jean-louis.............many thanks.

Welsh Guards?

No............their emblem is a leek! But as I assume you're referring to their headgear, yes it is quite similar in look!

Simply excellent, Welsh Guards... why not, LOL !

:-)))

A god idea Keith, we all view things differently I think for a white background there are to many in a row the group of 4 on the left would be good and the 4th head from the left on it's own with the stems curling round the seed head. Do you know what they were used for ?

Thanks for your interesting comments Peter........but this was not an "arranged" photo. It was taken at the edge of a field in the countryside. I suppose I could have cropped some of the heads out or broke them off before I took the shot. The only thing I've done apart from sharpening it and the black and white conversion was to crop off all the untidy bits at the bottom.

Teasels are basically a thistle-type plant with purple flowerless which die back to reveal the seed heads that you can see. Birds love them, especially goldfinches!

You really have an artistic view, Keith!

Thank you Stephan..........I try my best!
