Good composition and color. The blurring and direction of the grass really lends the notion of wind motion. An 8

Nice point of view. Great color and the blurred stocks show movement and wind very well. Nice shot. I tried something like this but failed miserably. 7

The blurring of the grasses emphasizes the feeling of the wind.

Very pleasing to the eye with nice warm tones. One of the better grass shots I've seen in this challenge.

Beautiful color. I'd like to see the dark grasses less centered, perhaps by trimming the left hand side a bit. I think that would make it more dynamic.

I like the warmth conveyed by this shot. Very calming. Soft focus is appropriate. Nice job 8.

Nice use of gradient. Did you use a filter or Photoshop?

Beautiful sunset photograph! Superb ligthing use, so diffilcult to obtain shooting toward the sun. Like the orange and gold colors. Like the dof used to show grasses blowing in the wind. Very well done!

yep, yours is better than mine. Never could get a good sunset when I wanted one. Nice motion blur on the reeds and a strong composition.

this has that great feeling about it with the movement and the colour adding to the effect of a breeze blowing through.
