Real nice Larry, the grasses look beautiful against that colorful sky.

Very pretty, i love the perspective here and the subject and light are perfect for the theme. I think this is fabulous as presented, but after playing with a screen crop, here's a thought: since this is already a creative angle, how bout taking it a step further and cropping the bottom dark part out entirely, so just the stems are silhouetted against the sky. It would change the character of the shot completely, so im definitely not suggesting that you scrap this version, but try it out--i personally find the result to be quite striking. :cool:
