Hello nirmal,
Fine capture of the flowering head of this species of tall grass. excellent sharpness and nice POV against a blue sky. I think the comoposition might have been better without the dark foliage at the top, but that may be a matter of opinion.
Thanks for sharing this and the informative note.
Best wishes, Ivan

hello Nirmal,
You show a common grass of India. I wonder what kind of uses people make of it? Do animals eat it? Is it always so high?
For the picture itself: good idea to take the picture against the sky. The leaves on the top are distracting a little bit.
Thanks and best regards
Anne
