Nice composition and take on the challenge. The image seems a little over exposed though. I'm not sure about the necessity of the border, but I'll ignore it during voting!
The border looks so similar to the stemps that it detracts from the image. I'd probably forego it altogether in this case. Creative title, and nice colors. I'd like to see some enhancement in sharpeness.
You would have done a lot better without the frame on this one I think. It takes away from the pleasing bent chaos of the thorns (adding dissorder and confusion instead) Being that thick and dominant it also takes the eye off the image and all you see is the frame. Frame gone, it's a nice shot with a decent interpretation of the topic. I'll leave you a 5 clicking close to the 4.. Border gone, I'd probably clicked the 6.
