i really like the out of focus grass up close. it really makes you feel like your lying on the ground.

I like this, but would've been so much better had you cut off the bottom 3rd where the grass gets blurry. This part is just too distracting and overwhelming.

for me the DOF, POV, green and blue colors work well. I like the bits of tall grass standing out. great picture for a mediocre scene. 7

less blur on foreground, even though I feel you did this cause you liked it. perhaps less gradient on sky? The grass right up front..one blade..white/yellow keeps making me look away from the tree. I do feel you met the challenge 5 and nice colours 6 ..so I give your shot a 6..gl in challenge :-)

I like the low angle of view! Wish the tree were a bit to the left and the background slightly blurred to get greater depth.

I love the little pieces of grass that stand out. Gives the picture a creative twist. :)

I like the ground up perspective. Seems slightly underexposed, probably due to the time of day.
