WC#469 - Unusual angle

I found this Cardus in the Ligurian Mountain after a snowfall.
The snow covered everything, except this dried thorny flower that seemed to stretch toward the sky.
So I lay down on the snow to emphasize the effect.

Thanks for viewing.
C&C are very welcome.

Beautiful shot -- stretching to reach the sky ........ I would love to see the additional detail often visible in a larger image, too.

You did a very nice job on the comp and exposure. I must add an extra cudo on the eye to see this shot. As always well thought out.
