Similar image to the Cypress image that I posted earlier, but this one is just of the grasses. As with the Cypress shot, I was photographing Barred owls when I saw this shot, and could not resists taking it. What do you think?

I like it. I like the light reflected in the watter and the sillouettes of the grasses. The only nit I have is that the horizon looks a little tilted to the right.

I agree with Dan that it horizon is tilted slightly. Your © & name are so large and bright that it detracts significantly from this otherwise nice, subtle image.

I really like the subtle warm colors, Juan. However, there is quite a bit of halo artifact around high contrast interfaces, suggesting perhaps you were a bit heavy-handed with the USM.
Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap, but memories are priceless.

Those grassed are nice. I like the colors in the sky and in the water. Level it and it would be a winner.

Its a beautiful scene but oversharpened. Back off on the sharpening a bit and you have a real winner.

A very calm and nice scene. I would have tried a lower or higher angle to avoid the seedtops conflicting with the shoreline in the BG.

Juan,

Ohh. This is NICE!

I relly like this. Have tried many different shots of grasses like this but have never even come close to this.
