Really nice. I wish I had the patience to find the art in commonplace things.

I really find myself enjoying this image. Just something about it really gives me a nice feeling. The simplistic chaos of the organized blades shoots upwards towards the unknown with grace. Very nice image.

It's not boring take a look at mine if you want to see boring ;)

Very painting-like and nice energy with the blades going off in all directions. The high contrast works well for the subject, and even though that makes the bokeh stand out a lot more, it works IMO - adds another set of abstract shapes to the image.

Ha, not boring at all! I like this, very much. Again, just like your shot from day 1, I suspect that the image has a much different impact in colour than in b/w.

i am going to call you a goob every day of this challenge. This is not boring - this is pretty! the frame fits in so well with the pic. I like the contrast and the sharpness of some of the grass pieces in front. very nice!

I really like the lines of the grasses and the dof gives this a very abstract feel.

I like the darkness of this, looks like a Fine Art photo. I think the sign of a good photographer is that they kind find a good photo anywhere. Nothing boring about this at all.

Boring???? No!!!

I love the abstract feel to this. Would not look out of place on the wall of a trendy coffee shor or bar

Not usually a big fan of borders, but this one works to perfection

roz - really nice image! The contrast is really excellent and the lighting on the grass -especially the shadows across individual blades adds such nice depth. And you said you didn't know anything about b/w...

This has a graphic abstract quality. Love the high contrast.

Wonderful Bokeh in this one.,...
I love how the bokeh comes alive, as it almost sparkles.....

very artistic, almost painterly. I like this one very much

Roz, you really have a great eye for capturing the Auzzie bush! Lovely bokeh and beautiful contrast!!!

I like the defined highlights, but I do find some of the bokeh to be a bit distracting from the beauty and simplicity of the grasses. It almost seems it might lend itself better to a much smoother background. The border was a nice touch.

i like the rich blacks in the background, the bokeh is working very well and very nice contrast.

Very good bokeh, you've made an ordinary item interesting!

Very artsy and intense, Roz. Boring - au contraire. Crop is great on this.

I enjoy the timelessness of this... the individual grass strands, and the dof. Very serene.

Are you kidding? Not boring at ALL! This is very artistic, in fact, I saw a modification of this once as a ribbon winner. It's the sparkly bokeh background that makes this such a standout!

Great job, Roz!
