Teasle - head on

While out for a morning walk, this teasel was just begging to be photographed. I've seen dozens of photos of these things, and so my wife suggested that I try from a different angle. So this shot was done pointing straight down to get it head-on.
Best on black I think.

This is a smashing shot, Jon. Love the spikes and curves and the disappearing dark. Fav.

This is excellent. Perfect focus, light and bokeh, amazing on black! Fav!

Thanks so much you two. All credit to my other half as she had the idea of the POV. What would I do without her???

Who am I to argue with such logic?
