Glowing
by Youssef Ismail
Thanks for the feedback on my previous photo. I am about half way through with what I consider my favorites from my recent trip.
Later on that same day Lon and I decided to head back to Cramer Alley as the day before we all stopped there as a group and planned out what time might be best to come back and photograph these grass gardens without super harsh sun hitting everything.
Two days before, Lon had been here and already posted one or two of his photos from this spot. I think I made three photos from here but this is what I was hoping to achieve, one main tuft of grass lit by the sun giving off an apparent internal glow. The fern on the right side, slightly browned, is the same fern in Lon's post from a week ago or so.
Your comments most appreciated.

Wonderful! You caught the light beautifully on that tuft of grass. I clearly remember watching the light come and go as the sun made it's way over the valley walls, trickling through the tall pines on the other side of the river. This is a special spot. I have a couple more from here, but certainly didn't capture any glow.
No nits here Youssef, love it.
