Hi All

An image captured by playing around in the back yard trying tocome up with an interesting or appealing composition / shot of some simple lawn grass – whether it works or not Iwill leave up to you to decide, but its harder than it sounds (laughing)

All the best

Matthew

I think this works, Matthew. Pretty cool natural abstract......but why not try this sort of shot with the Early Purple Orchids that are about now, that would REALLY work well!

Who would have thought grass could look so good! Lovely as is - but just think how pretty this could become with a single daisy or such.

The softness and simplicity are appealing - but what I really like is that it's very different from most of your other work. Bravo!

Hi

And thanks for the kindly comments – Steve and Carol I think your remarks about having another object as a focal point as good ones, but then it would not be an exercise solely about the study of grass (laughing) But your points are good!

All the best
Matthew

Yes, I appreciate what you did here and it stands on its own merits. Just thinking out loud on the possibilities it could lead to.
