This is a very creative photo. The thorns look zebra-like, and the sharp contrast of the thorns in focus against the softer focused thorns gives the picture a unique punch. The lighting, positioning of the subject, et cetera, all add up to a well-developed image. My only concern would be that too much of the composition is out of focus. But it's your picture.

OUCH indeed! But a great picture.. i like the blurry background, give more focus to the brach in front. Makes it stand out more prominent, emphysising the detail on that brach more. Great work, zippee!
