Nice and interesting shot. I like the asymmetric composition.
That's a great and unusual lens, I have a same one. Did you use that in macro setting?

Thank you, Gábor! yes, it's a great lens indeed - for over 20 years, it was the only lens I had in combination with my pentax ME super camera. When I switched to digital, it was one of the main reasons to stick with pentax, that I could continue to use my old familiar 40-80 lens. It was not in macro setting when I made this photo, but since the f-value is not registered automatically with this lens, I can't remember the settings exactly...
Giant Hogweed stalks are huge though - up to 2m high...
Thank you Clare and Maria for your kind comments too!
