Beautiful shot showing two species of Palouse grasses with their seed heads ripening.
Technically faultless: composition and lighting top class. A joy to look at and thanks for sharing this one Bob.

Hello Bob,

This looks a choir of grasses with their faces uplifted to the sky. One or two are bent-headed, drawing breath, but most present an uplifting picture!

Interesting notes.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
Many thanks for your warm feedback on 'Spotlighting 4 leaf clover'. I love your reminiscences of mountain life!

Hai Bob,
beautiful image and your comments are valuable too. if they are still around there please try couple frames with patterns with little more contrast. you can avoid those dark patches on top right corner, if possible. TFS.

Hi Bob,

I wasn't sure what I would see when I clicked the thumbnail. I found a big surprise. If I were driving by this field I would think it was wheat. I love the colors and the sunlight shining on the grass. The natural colors are wonderful. Quite a contrast to the scenery here.

Hello Bob,
Your lighting here looks strong and you managed it well. Your grasses are turning gold, with all our rain we are still green and growing. Thanks for sharing Bob.

Hello Bob,
Very beautiful close-up of these lovely grasses. They remind me of a field of Barley.
Lovely colours and well composed.

Very informative note that goes very well with this image of wild grasses in your part of the world, Bob.
I see this image essentially as an abstract creation through your critical yet esthetically rich perception of things.
It is a lovely composition.
Hope you are keeping well.
Regards,
Ram

Beautiful picture... actually reminds me of late summer. Grasses blowing in the wind will always make for great photo studies.

Hi Bob

I wanted to comment on this one for some time now but got away from the city for a few days in a place with no internet and phone reception...i'm sure you of all people understand me :)
Anyway, i find myself sometimes staring at things just like this and wanting to capture them with my images...sometimes i can, other not.
This is a stunning shot and a splendid composition, with this wild "game" of light and mosaic of shapes.
Wonderful work with the exposure here, in my humble opinion, and excellent use of the rather shallow DOF.

BRAVO and TFS
Horia
