Wide-Angle Wednesday: "Floral"

This clematis (which I also blipped in May last year, here) has been looking beautiful for the last 3 weeks. The petals are just beginning to drop now but I like the "sea" of flowers so I thought it would work OK for today's wide-angle challenge.

I don't have a very wide-angle lens (the minimum focal length on my APS-C SLR is 18mm) so I've cheated slightly and applied some of Photoshop's "spherize" effect...I think it gives it more impact but I hope this doesn't disqualify me from the challenge this week!  :)

Many thanks as always to hobbs for the idea of widwed, and to ThingsBeautiful for looking after it this week.
