Greetings from the Critique Club!
Hi sagestudio,
I hope you are well today. I like the feeling of this photo. So laid back and lazy, I like it. I like the composition of this photo, and the little bit of sky, and the grass taking up most of the shot. I would have liked this shot better if the grass in the forefront was more intact.
I like the lighting; it looks like you were there either in early morning or late afternoon which is when the best lighting is available. This isn't the typical flora photo which we saw in this challenge, and that's what makes this shot original. I enjoyed it very much.
I'll be honest and say that I'm not very strong on the technical stuff yet, and had I taken this shot, I wouldn't have used f8.0. That's a personal choice that I'd make. I would have used macro mode, and a F3 or 4... I'd like to discuss with you why you used F8.0? please send me a private message?
Overall, I think this fits the challenge well, and I like it too!
great work!
Annida

Nice idea :). The photo isn't entirely aesthetically pleasing to me, but it tells an interesting story and sets a mood.

Clever idea, the unusual perspective works well. The green of the grass comes out very well, it looks amazingly saturated!

This one would have been great for Fauna as well! I hope you don't get counted down because of ignorance... grass is definitely a plant that few people probably think... I thought of it as a given before I went to Australia <GRIN> Anyway... great perspective... very nice job. I like it!
