A Venture Into Macro Photography

Recently, I've gotten more deeply into macro photography.  Over the years, I've dabbled in it from time to time, but lately I've been bitten by the bug, so to speak.  I acquired a Nikkor 200mm f/4.0 micro lens (Nikon's name for macro lenses), an excellent lens that lets you shoot a respectable distance from your subject.  Not long ago, I made a field trip to a nearby vacant lot where there are a lot of thistles growing.  I made this shot into the sun so it would be backlit.  I think it shows up the structure of the thistle quite well.  What do you think?
