Thanks all, this was an experiment and my first night shoot...

Not happy, still learning, but i thought i'd post and share.

It was nearly impossible to get all objects in focus and proper lighting. I had to use a second curtain affect to get the reed to show up at all. It was still to bright so I need to learn how to adjust more.

I realized afterwards that my polarizer lens might have helped even though it's not the typical sunny day use.

Yes the reed was blurring...

I was getting a bit closer to what I wanted but a fog rolled in making all shots blurry irregardless of focused or not. This was VERY challenging.

I'd rate it a 40% score in my personal book. But I think it still shows my "eye" for a good shot. Just not my technical knowledge to make the shot.

cool shot. How do you take shots at night? What do yu set your camera's setting at? Everytime I use the camera for night shots I get back blurry pics.

hmmm... you should have focused on the reed or maybe applied a bit of USM.

Night captions are so difficult. I like your composition and would have liked the image more in focus. Was the wind moving your subject? I wonder if you can get both the moon and a blade of grass at night in perfect focus? Thanks.

I like the simplicity, but my preference would be for better focus on the plant

Great idea. Lighting looks tough. Maybe a little less flash, or more diffuse flash, would let the texture of the seeds show a little more.

I̢۪m sorry but I don̢۪t see anything bizarre or amazing about this photo. The focus seems to be off as well.

Seems that there is too much direct light on the subject.
