    Better Grass

    Well done! This is a much better image. The composition works well, the colors are more saturated. Perhaps some of the highlights on the grass are blown out, but it is difficult to expose plants in direct sunlight.

    yeah

    Your composition (except for a VERY minor grass tip clip) is really improved over the others...the sun in Australia looks like it's blazing hot

    there's a smidge of a dot(flare in the upper misddle part of the image---clone it out maybe---detracts from the rest...but just a bit

    much better

    Bore me?

    OK, this will sound silly, but grass is one of my favorite subjects to shoot!

    The composition in this one is much better than the previous grass picture because you haven't cropped the subject as much. To me the colors look unaturally neon; did you boost the saturation? Not knowing if you were going for this bright contrasty look or a natural look, it's hard to critique.

    very nice. i very much like the tan colors in the reeds (or whatever they are) against the white snow. i've been admiring similar scenes this winter but haven't taken any photos of them. glad you caught a good one.

    here Australia we have many grasses growing native to our country, alot of them grow in great clumps, like big round balls almost, very pretty if you set up a well arranged garden using there form.
