Illuminated grass II

Really cool shot.  The lighting, comp., and processing is just eye catching.  The only very slight recommendation might be to clone a little of the dark area over the top-most blade of grass that is exiting the frame. That would keep a dark boarder around the image. Just works better for me.

Love the strong graphics, with the deep dark background as a canvas for the wonderful lines and luminance of the grasses.  Excellent work.  The larger, detail image is a joy to view.

Roel,

I'm surprised this hasn't received more comments.  then again, it's been noticeably slower around here.... ;-(

I'm finding this fascinating!  The green grasses and the subtle tree reflections help identify what we're looking at, and of course the graphic appeal is terrific here.  What I'm drawn to are the brown grasses.  It's near impossible to discern the line between the real thing and the reflection.  The resulting visual makes the brown ones look like little streaks of something, like you caught small leaves floating with a 1/2s exposure. Very cool.

No nits at all, I love this.

I suppose if you were a fanatic, you could clone out all the little white specs of stuff floating on the water... but that would be quite tedious..

This image has some very nice abstract qualities and it's very different from what I typically see you do.I find it quite fascinating with the type of lighting you have employed and the dark background and foreground.

This is a very intriguing and mystical abstract. I like this a lot, Roel. It is very different.

Wow, very unique and intriguing image! Has strong graphic appeal. Well seen.

Wonderful light abstract Roel!  The faint reflections add some mystery.

Hi  Roel   Agree with Lon.  the beautiful  abstract  qualities of this image should  have received much  more comments.    .  the symmetry of the  grass, and the quality of  light and color,and  the reflections are   mesmerizing.       love  it

Been traveling and dinking off quite a bit lately, so my activity on NPN as been delinquent.  I really like this Roel.  Beautiful study in simplicity and reflection.  Nice work.

This combination of literal details and abstract forms is a work of art.  I think that one of the keys to the success of the image is the way the central row of longer grasses lines up to form a an orderly form greatly enhanced by its mirror image. Congratulations on capturing and processing it so well, but even more, congratulations on seeing the potential of shit simple but beautiful scene.

Hi  Roel  Congrats on a well  deserved WP
