Another attempt at 47 steps (35, 6, 6).

My first try was just as uninteresting as this one.

I like this the way it is. Simple. I think centered works very well. The stuff at the bottom, blurred as it is, gives the image movement. The "blown out" part of the stem actually enhances the balancing act going on here - the head is so large, the stem so small, the perception of the wind blowing but not bending the stem - all pull together to mean something. What? for me the first thing that came to mind was perseverence. The stem doesn't break even with the load and the wind. It may not be a 'pretty' picture, but for me at least, it has a story.

I don't think the rule of thirds always applies; sometimes dead center is just fine, as I think it is here. I wish it were just the lone stalk, though: I can't make out what the elements at the bottom are, and, to me, they only take away from an otherwise very clean, very pure composition.

I like this photograph, you have great contrast and detail, just not much of it. There just doesn't seem to be enough there to get that coveted second, deeper look. Maybe get closer to the subject or get more of these stems in the photo. I definately don't think it is uninteresting as you suggest.

Quickly:
move your subject left or right (RO1/3)
I don't like the 'burn out' in the stem.
Find a more ornamental grass.. :)
