Thank you all for your comments and time viewing this photo, I really appreciate it. This stalk was on a cliff hundreds of feet above the ocean in Italy. It was completely dead for those of you who were concerned, I think it froze before ever even blooming (it was 40 degrees out mid day when this shot was taken, it had been dead for a long while though). I liked straightening this stalk up and giving it a last moment of order before it finally snaps and falls off the cliff (which it probably has by now). Thanks again for commenting. I spent two weeks in Cinque Terra (amazingly photogenic) and France and London shooting non stop its nice to be able to share at least this image :-)

Love the monochromatic treatment, centered composition and the tilted horizon which together makes for a special image!

The horizon line is slightly disorienting, but not in a bad way for me. nice shot.
