Can almost feel the gentle wind blowing through the reeds. Nice detail, and very well composed. Visually a very calming and peaceful capture. Very nice work on this one.

It's a painting! I love that Buz Sim effect but why did you use white neutralizer?

I can feel the breezes that have caught these grasses and the background does not hamper this but gives it a further mystery and story. The light shadow play is also excellent.

Your consideration of placing it into a very large horizontal format was the way to go and the diagonal slants of the grasses add the drama of dance and cadence.

This would look beautiful framed and hanging on a palliative care wall to give peace.

in my opinion i think is a bit overexposure , i know is mixed media but for some reason looks a bit out of focus, good angle and frame, hood effort, Jairos

I like how the wind is blowing the foreground stalks of grass on a diagonal... yet the background is level. That foreground adds dynamic action to the photograph. I think the effects that you used are interesting. I wonder about the original focus of the photograph, but I I the effects used mitigate any blur.

I love this...I would definitely frame it and hang it on my wall. Your initial capture was very artistic to begin with..in perspective and DOF I imagine. And your colors are textures plus the editing treatments have added a most pleasing composition over all. Congratulations on this one and good luck in the contest!

Interesting capture. The clarity is good. The angle of the shot of the top of reeds being blowing in the wind is good. The capture of the light is good. The image is balanced and eye interesting to the viewer. Good eye and good job overall

I found this image very interesting - it gave me the feeling of what it would be like to actually be at this location. Great composition and excellent use of one basic color to make an excellent shot. Thanks for sharing.

I believe this could have more impact if it was lightened up some. For me there is just too much dark greenness and black. And for me, it lacks clarity... but that is my perception, this could be exactly the look you were aiming for. I do like how the sunlight highlights the reeds and just feel this would be way better if that could be intensified

    Absolutely, so much more definition. That really did make a difference and I upgraded your rating. 😊 so glad you made the changes.
