On a cold, blustery morning I shot this grass highlighted by the rising sun. I used a tripod and a slow shutter speed to emphasize the motion of the tops in the wind. A little contrast and saturation adjustment, plus cropping was added to focus on the moving part of the plants.

I love Pampas grass - lovely, soft colors of the grass blowing gently against a soft, blue sky. Well done!

too light. Otherwise a fine shot I think.

This is an excellent subject to represent wind. I think the shot could use a bit more contrast or maybe less exposure since it's a bit bright throughout. Still, it's a very nice shot.

Beautiful photograph. Like the pastel tone, using only two colors for the theme. Softer focus accents the wind motion moving the grass. Great composition, nothing distracting from the subject. Well done!
