Praire Grass

We have had a lot of rain this spring and everything is really green. I decided to go out and try shooting some grasses.
The wind was picking up so I started to play around with some blurs. I have started carrying a black T-shirt with me to isolate the smaller subjects. I use trecking poles (my knees are getting older) and I can hang the T-shirt on them. Thanks for your comments and critiques.

This is just gorgeous, Richard. And I like your ingenuity with the t-shirt and trekking poles. It's not easy to get something like this in the wind, but your processing and final result are absolutely wonderful.
