 The grasses were moving gently back and forth in a light breeze - that's what caught my eye. I had to wait for moments when the wind died to make my exposures - and it took about 30 tries to get three sharp pictures to choose from.

Hi Gordon. This one has the same or similar colors and light than one in my galleries. It catch my eye almost inmediatelly! :D

The subject is different. In my case the objective was background, but it could be the same scene from different points of view.

If you have enough time, take a look:

Nice... for me you've captured both the moment and the movement. I can almost feel the breeze. Great work!

The blades sure give you a feeling of what way the wind is blowing. Nice idea, I like the composition and the light.

My instructor once said that a good photographer can get an interesting photo almost anywhere under any conditions. This qualifies. 8

It catches the eye due to the diagonal separating darkness/land an brightness/sky. Reeds (I suppose that's what it is) are always elegant and are a good subject to photography, whatever the season. Well done.

A pretty silhouette which shows the graceful form of simple grasses but the image lacks that extra punch that would make it something special - perhaps a real focal point?
