[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Let us refresh our biological lessons: Phototropism, a phenomenon shown by plant shoot to grow toward incoming sunlight, or other source of light.

Now, our knowledge on physics: Gravitation, anything heavier that air will be fulled down to earth surface.

Wild grass captured in this photo is an example of how the two forces work. Trying to grow directly toward the sun but cannot completely overcome the attraction of the earth. I guess, we -human being- are also always facing this situation.

Basic philosophy learned: “we cannot have all of what we want”

Sorry, I sound too serious….

Regarding the photo, not much I can say, except that this photo was taken at sunset, then cropped, color adjusted, resized, and framed.

Very good low point of view. I can feel the wind in this scene.

Hello Benyamin.
A very nice presentation with great choice of frame.
Excellent POV and lovely contrast between the black grass and the sky.
Well done and thanks for sharing.

I do like this. Your POV is good, and it is good to see the triangle shapes of the grasses and the sky. Well done,
Janice

Nice shot Benyamin, did you happen to used some filter effect on it? I like the whole shot, but I think it is a bit over sharpen as I can see the halo details, not sure if you know about "Neat Image", is a software which can easily correct it. Pretty shot, thanks for sharing

Cool looking picture, I like the colors but I don't care much for the frame. maybe if you did a feather fade on the black inside as well it wouldn't look so harsh, good job still

I like the angle of the camera and the wild grasses against the blue sky.Wonderful mood you have created!
Regards,
chiping

Very good compo Benyamin, very good pov, it could have handled a bit extra saturation though..

You have given this image a nice fresh and airy look with the white edging. The downside could be said to be that it also makes the image float in space, ungrounded in the frame. Well, I'm no expert so I am not judging one way or the other. All I know is that I like it:)

From that low angle.. THe sky and field give a visual hug that i enjoy the light balance! Tone in the sky is of a soft presence!

This is good! Great compositional work, the diagonal geography of grass from left to right, the individual flower heads going from right to left ... and the glimpses of sky beyond it.
Above all else, I'm delighted to see your talents & efforts begin to shine like this. Congratulations.

Hi Benyamin.
Very good composition, I like your point of view.
Thanks for sharing, have a great week.
Many regards.

Yasin.

Good pov, good composition and superbly framed. A really atmospheric picture
Thanks for sharing

Hello Benyamin, this is so lovely and well composed. The grasses leaning to the left makes a nice dynamic photo, and the soft blue sky as bg.

Very well done! Take care, Yan :)
