Fluidr / Thistle #2 by Robert Warren

A variation of a recent post. A simple thistle found along the Credit River, Mississauga, ON, Canada.
I used different texture layers this time, all courtesy of Anna Lenabem's textures on her Flickr site. Again, the goal was to turn a very ordinary subject into something a bit more interesting or abstract.
All comment / suggestions most welcomed.
