John - Nice use of the Big Bluestem for the foreground. I am not sure there is much beyond that to hold my attention but I will wait for opinion of others. It appears to be a wee bit under exposed - suggest pulling up at least 1/2 a stop minimum

John: I really like this scene. My suggestion would have been a slightly higher camera angle producing less FG and more sky accentuating the grass. I like your DOF choice. >=))>

Well composed, John. I like the focus on the tall grass and the log cabin in the bg. The image is a good portrait of the prairie. My only nit is that I think you could have included the top of the grass. My only suggestion is to clone out the bit of leaves protruding from the left edge about 1/2 way the photo.

I really like the environment you have created here John. I would also like to see the whole tall grass.

John:
An environmental shot and interesting POV. Wish the tip of the grass did not touch the top of the frame.
