Smokey Pampas Grass
This was taken during a fire last year near Point Mugu State Park.

I like this a lot. I am on the fence about the dark leaves on the right. It counteracts the wonderful surrealism of the rest of the image. That said, good stuff all around!

Steve, the soft feeling to this scene works very nicely against this smoke filled sky.

I think there is a better crop somewhere inside the image.

Harley, Sorry I got a few gray hairs and some whites.

Steve,

I like the comp the way it is. It is sweet!

Grey hair is nature's way of showing you paid your dues.

Steve,

The centered sun works well as do the grasses blowing in the breeze. Great capture.

This very other-wordly, Steve. I think the bit os grass that are sharp distract a bit, but otherwise this is sweet.
