A friend made these wheat stalks of glass, for me, many years ago. I placed them in the late afternoon sun to get the sparkle.

Good concept. I'm curious to know what would happen if you added more saturation to the photo.

The multiple reflections of the sun create a compelling effect, and the whole is nicely framed, with the major diagonal flow crossing the band of cloud. I particularly like the way the topmost sunburst sits almost directly in front of the topmost whisp of cloud.

It looks more like highly polished steel than glass, though...

Sparklies are nice! Sky is very muted and grayish rather than blue.

After looking for a little while, I think it would pop out more if the sky were more blue.

Wow, those look fragile. Nice image, but the color of the background seems a a bit brown to me. I'm not sure if it's just me or not.

I would prefer seeing more of the lower "piece of wheat" and having more space off to the right to off center if further. Very unique subject.
