Paul, this is a fine look at this sea oats bloom against a terrific sky.  I do wonder how this would look without the long blade behind, but am not sure it would be an improvement.

Nice sky coloring, Paul. I like the backlit  silhouette image, the image reminds me a Japanese brush stroke water color painting.

Pure and simple. Expresses in a few lines the elegant sway of Sea Oats in an early morning, offshore breeze. I can just smell the salt air!devil

Well done, Paul. Good vision and photography. Well composed and good use of the gradient light in the bg.

Paul - Like it exactly as presented. Gradient in the background sky makes this shot extremely appealing.
