 Day 30 of 30 Flowers

A subtle flower. This is from the garden park I visited in mid-August. I was considering it for the August FS but it's probably too subtle to do well there ;-) I'd rather share it here!

This is also known as River Oats and Indian Oats (that doesn't sound very PC!) and a few other common names. Latin name Chasmanthium Latifolium. It is native but also used in gardens. I may need to get some; the sun through the delicate dangling flowers is gorgeous!

PP - converted from RAW, cropped, cloned out a couple of bright spots where I didn't want them, increased contrast, shifted hue very slightly towards green, added border, resized, sharpened.

Very nice. I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to get a backlit shot of grass seed heads. This one inspires me to keep trying.

Sweet 'n' Simple. Ornamental grasses are so pretty, especially in the sun at this time of year. I hope you get some in your garden!

I'm impressed how you use the same color for background and still the subject gets all the attention.

Green on green. And subtle simple composition. Definitely worth having for this moment of grace.

A study in green. The oats seem like there actually falling out of the frame. And thanks for sharing it!
