I have placemats a bit like this - bought long before I realised that I was capable of images along the same lines. Just requires a little lie down in the sand and a snail's pov! I am a bit annoyed by the very close 'cotton tails', but I do like the sky and nice beach tones.
When faced with this kind of predicament, I have been known to bend the offending plant over and out of the frame. I would only do this to the tallest of the OOF cotton tail. mind you, Ii leave endangered plants alone, such as wild orchids etc.
Oh, I'm like Ethel, and do bend a plant of too. How naughty are we... I like this photo, and it's true that these types of photos are on placemats. Have you ever made you own placements?
