 One of my more favorite grassy sorts of plants for the delicate structure and the patterns on the leaves. I especially love it backlit like this. Not sure if it's patterned enough for the challenge and I'd love to tweak it some more in PP (didn't remember this was Minimal editing when I took it LOL), but rules are rules.

The EXIF says my focal length was 370mm so I must have had an extension tube on.

PP - resized, sharpened.

The leaves seem more in random formation rather that in a pattern. The pattern in each individual leaf is more interesting imo. Cutting the bottom leafs doesn`t help much the image as a whole, but I like the soft bokeh in the bg.

Extremely delicate. Could make a great card.

Nice DOF and the light from behind nicely outlines the oat.
