Three Tufts
3 smaller tufts of grass stand out in a small man made water area as temperatures rise and the ice recedes. This pond / lake compliments of an area coal company as a mine reclamation area.

Tell me if you like this, or don't like, if you would :wavey:

Thank you,

Interesting. I might have tried a crop the right to just left of the first clump and then a little at the bottom.

I like your composition on this. As a crop suggestion, how about a little from the top to crop off the bright area in the grass behind.

Thanks for Posting

I agree with David..a crop from the top would also place more emphasis on the tufts. I also like the curves in the ice :)

Personally, I like it as-is. I wouldn't want to loose the different color in the grasses at the top of the frame. Good eye and well composed.
