Nothing spectacular, but I liked how the grass was lit by the sun, while everything else was much darker. I burned two spots in the background because they were a bit lighter and ruined the coherence of the dark background a bit, but other than that this is pretty much what my camera captured. Tried converting it to B&W, but I am no good at that, so I liked it better in color.
200 mm, 1/400, f/8, ISO 100.
C&C welcome as usual, large version is included!

15 commentsCool graphic composition. I might have placed the line of grass other than right through the middle though.
That's a good idea Daniel, I don't know why I didn't even think of that, haha. My brain must be tired today.
I like this a lot. Very abstract and very different. The composition works for me as presented. Nice tension to it.
Roel, how cool is this one? Amazing to see how the sun light is just illuminating that area too. I like it all. It reminds me of seeing a sound or voice wave/track on a screen, just needs some oscillation to it.......excellent !...
Very original. I'll go with Paul for representation of a sound wave. It's abstract but I like it.
This is my favorite kind of light - masterfully captured, Roel! Keep the color, it works very well. And, if you are going to move the line of grass off-center, I would move it up, so as to have more reflection of the trees than trees. But I actually think that symmetry works well in this case, so I'm not sure that I would move it.
Superb Roel. That fact that the grass is in the middle really doesn't bother me at all. I do wish, however, there was a bit more shadow detail visible in the top part of the image.
I like it as is however suggestion of bit more detail in BG is valid IMO. Nice catch
I agree with the others about the dark background. If you're going to provide details in the background then provide enough so that they are recognizable. I like the idea, though. It could lead to some interesting images. The centering doesn't bother me.
Interesting, Roel. This is so very different and to my eye very effective. As Harley said, and I think it's the right description, is the tension here. I love it.
Very cool. love the simplicity!

Very interesting presentation with appealing abstract qualitites. I think a square crop suits this better.
A daring composition that works very well.
Roel, This is really cool looking!!! The comp works for me and you have to love that light. Pretty amazing.

Excellent abstract Roel. I like it as is. I also think this would not have worked as well in B&W. The contrast of the green grass against black is stunning.
