I think this is a dormant dandelion.. it has the same leaf structure only the leaves are covered in small extremely sharp spines.
The photo seems to have a watery aspect to it to my eyes, which some will likely take for blurriness due to movement of the camera or the like, but in fact this is a small portion cropped from a large image which is in sharp focus.
Regardless, I like the surreal nature of the photo. We'll see what others think!

This challenge has many macro shoots. Macro, due to a shorter distance from subject tends to have a shallow DOF. You need to interact with the camera to ensure no relevant piece of subject is out of focus by this issue. To do this increase your DOF.
This certainly meets the “texture” part of the challenge, but, it could use a single point of interest to make good use of that interesting texture as background. It also looks slightly out of focus.
