Beautifully composed and captured Steve! #730328

David Pratt September 04, 2007

Wonderful composition Steve. I really like the way the bent grass in the forground contrast with such a gorgeous sky. Was this taken from your cabin as well? #4745907

Steve M. Harrington September 04, 2007

Thanks, Jeff and Dave. Yeah, these are the dunes in front of our cottage. Lake Huron is just beyond.

Dianna Hauf September 04, 2007

AHhh, sweet vacations!! BEAUTIFUL image! Love your blue, blue sky with it's hint of an oncoming glorious sunset and the swaying silhouetted grasses! A very COMFORTABLE & relaxing view!! Bet it was HARD to come back home!! #4746899

Mitch Spence level-classic September 04, 2007

There is a great sense of movement in the bending of the plants. The yellow of the sky behind them enhances this sense. Quite lovely. #4746972

Steve M. Harrington September 04, 2007

What nice comments, Dianna and Mitch. I wasn't sure about this image. You guys have made my day! :)
In some ways, it was harder to stay, Dianna. It's good to be home.

Nikki McDonald level-classic September 04, 2007

Mitch, Dianna, David and others have said it so nicely. I, too, love that yellow behind and silhouetting the grasses. The fine delicate patterns of the grass heads and the wispy clouds are nicely anchored by the solid dark ground and deep blue sky. This is a lovely photo, Steve, #4747618

Steve M. Harrington September 04, 2007

Thank you so much, Nikki. To be honest, this image was an afterthought. I was mainly focusing on shooting straight into the sun at sunset when I looked left and thought, "Hmm, just might have an image here." :)
