Very nice, I really like these recent artistic shots, this one is beautiful! It gives the effect of moving grass somehow and has a great flow to it. I especially like the 'v' shaped pattern and composition. A strong artistic image!

Suits you sir...

I consider this to be more for a pictorial shot than that of a natural history one. But saying that, that doesn’t mean that I don’t like it.

Well envisioned and executed.

Very very nice Chris! This floats my boat very buoyantly. The convergent effect from the use of the wideangle lends a very interesting effect, as I noted recently - but its not an easy one to master. I spent ages on a bunch of pines trying to get it right and threw all but one away. Its an effect thats certainly easier done with a tele! Theres a beautifully zen-like japanese quality to this thats really appealing. As a b&w carefully printed on fine art paper this would be well into Michael Kenna territory, and I'd happily have it on a wall. Well done.
