I like this John, particularly the silhouetted grass in the fg. I admire your creativity and the image. No suggestions.

John, I like most of this A LOT, My personal choice would be to see it without the dark fg grass.
I see Pat S. likes the fg grass, just goes to prove the old saying...."you can't please all the people all the time."

Lovely diagonals, John. I've always thought that Pampas grass was fascinating and I like this fine specimen. Interesting to see it with the dark grasses.

Nicely done John. IMO it would be of benefit if yoy allow a bit more space at the left side.

I'm having trouble with this one. I like the softness of the windswept Pampas grass. I think it works well with the soft clouds in the background. The dark silhouettes in the foreground ruin it for me, especially the one that bisects the frame vertically.

I know some of you are questioning the vertical grass in the fg. The way I saw it was the fg grass blades are bending or going the same direction as the tops in the bg. Which to me gives the image some balance. Thanks for all of your input.
