Excellent. The overall simplicity and harmonious colors makes this a good choice for a desktop IMO. Nice sharpness adn I love the light.

Sweet light and color, Mark, and excellent comp.  Larger view is great to show the details.  This is a fine example of using a natural BG to compliment the subject.

The tiny bits of contrasting color along with the composition, light and background make this a very compelling image.

That is nice. Good dof on the subject, background repeats colours. I like the silver lining. Well placed in the frame. Already for a long time I want to 'do' grasses, but there is always too much wind... This could also be nice in black and white, even with black and white interchanged.

Very simple and very effective.  Beautiful contrast with an incredible background to make this image pop.  The icons could be placed at the points of each sea oat...
