 Some corn grass growing in a field; I tried to take the image in the field but the light was fading fast so I had to cut some of the grass and put it on top of a fence to catch the last of the setting sun...not many voters will like the graphic simplicity of this image...cropped, levels, curves to boost tones, hue/saturation, usm

I love to see ordinary objects lit and photographed so I appreciate them in a new way. This is really, really well done.

There's an abstract quality that I like about this one.

Nice backlighting. I would like to see the tips of the plant a little sharper.

Pretty nice, but in this photo, I would have preferred it if everything was in focus, it kindof bothers me a little that the top of the grass in the upper right corner is out of focus. Lighting is good though.

Lovely in it's simplicity. Wishing there was more of the grass head in the image though. 8

I like the composition. Too bad that some part on the top right is not in focus.

Nice image - Like the composition and contemporary feel to it - Just wish there was a little more sharpness in the second grass.

i really like how only that one leaf and those little orange things have light shining through them.

Great lines and curves. The focus is a little soft on the top right.

Nice light and colors - but I wish you removed that straw in the bottom right corner. That ruins the composition quite a bit imo.
