Grass

[Dave Leroy]

Taken while out walking at Red Berry Lake, Saskatchewan. 50D, 500mm f/4IS at f/4, 1/125, ISO400 and tripod. I cropped some off right to eliminate some vertical stems. Dave

Hi Dave Tittle is grass and would like seeing a lot more of it, tones look great and love the idea !! .. btw great lens for tight shots !!!

[Ed Cordes]

Really interesting colors. Too bad the bright OOF blade is in front of the yellow blade in the URC.

[Nick Palmieri]

I like the idea and the composition. I think the bright spots are distracting and take something from an otherwise nice image. Love the diagonals!

[Dave Leroy]

Thanks for looking and commenting. I find grass interesting with all the colours and patterns but I sure find it hard to photograph. I quess for those very same reasons.

I like what you were going for, Dave. I, too, try to photograph grass and find I have to concentrate more on getting the lighting and the focal point established more than anything else. I think you found some sweet lighting and some good grass here but maybe moving your focal point would have helped anchor your image a bit more?

I do really like the diagonal lines and the shades of yellow and green. Beautiful!

[Dave Leroy]

Thanks Jules. I felt as soon as I had posted that the cropping had taken out some of the focal point and had shifted the balance too far right. Tks for commenting. Dave

Hey Dave, like the color combinations and variation in the lines.

I really like the colors and composition however I would have cropped out the right hand part of the picture to remove the blackened parts of the stem.

The thumbnail of this image called out to me with its strong graphic quality. Lovely colors and anagled lines. I hope you keep experimenting this grasses!
