Post Challenge: I lost my camera hood last month when I went to the Grand Canyon and I had not replaced it as yet. I could have cried when I saw the photo's, but it was too late to try to purchase a hood and re-shot the photos. Needless to say, my hood has been replaced. Thank you for receiving this entry even with the technical flaws.

Nice combination of the soft curves of the grasses against the harder lines of the church, plus interesting lighting. I think a slightly higher perspective might help with grasses lower and less obscuring of the windows.

I love these grasses - nice approach to the challenge and I like the way you chose to shoot "up" looking to the solid non-breeze affected structure behind. I even like the green flare dots - kinda cool!

I'd prefer this without the glare (not only on the left, but also in the grass on the right). Lens hood?

Wow - That's bright! As in a whole lot of light. :D First impression anyway. I like your POV used when taking this shot and the building in back adds a nice touch. Hard to really know if it's windy or not based on the grass being static - meaning not blurry to indicate motion or anything. I imagine it was difficult to slow down the shutter speed enough being as bright as it is. Anyway. Overall, nicely done. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Good demonstration of wind, although it looks a bit oversharpened.

I like the aliveness that this photo shows!

it's advanced editing, remember. the green flares are a little distracting in an otherwise great picture
