Very nice intimate landscape. I am enjoying the curves and the subdued colors. Very minor, but I might consider cloning the thicker bent-over sedge coming straight up from the bottom left edge. It's thickness seems to draw my eye there.

Sweet shot of the grasses, Preston. I like the color variety and "waterfall" effect. Well taken/presented.

I really like this - the very fine detail in the grass together with the gentle curves makes for a very appealing combination.

Preston,

Excellent and intimate view of these grasses along the Merced. The curves and intersecting lines make for a great composition.

Well seen and photographed. Processing looks spot on. Great eye to see this PB!

Preston, This is very, very nice! Excellent composition with wonderful color and detail. The large version feels like I could reach right out and touch this grass. Perfect for me just as it is here. Beautiful work!

These close-up scenes to me always fit the landscape gallery better then the flora or macro/close-up. For me this really has the right amount of "punch" to the scene. Excellent one, Preston.

This is very pretty, Preston. This is very well composed and your attention to detail in the field and PP is evident. No nits from me. Well seen.

A most appealing intimate scene to me, Preston. Your processing is spot on to my eye and shows the crisp details wonderfully.
