A very basic shot, just a blade of grass, that was blowing in the breeze, a kind of minimalism, at least to me.

Really, really good. Definitely minimalism, but the soft and flowing sort rather than hard and angular.

Be honest, though - since the grass was blowing in the breeze (a) how many shots did it take to get the point of focus just right; (b) did you visualise this first or was it one of those "Oooh, look at that!" moments when you looked through a lot of random images?? Either way, the end justifies the means.

8 shots is what it took and I had to chimp each shot, 😂😂😂😂
Tbh, I would have liked the point of focus right at the tip, but on balance I thought this was close enough, I saw the shot before I took it, but that maybe because I took a similar shot last week with a dew drop on a blade of grass.

Thanks guys

Might having the point of focus at the tip change the whole feel of it? The loss of focus towards the tip suggests (to me) a path disappearing into the far distance (infinity?). With the tip in focus, that might be lost. There's only one way to find out...

Well "put together". Very good effect. Subtle lower start leading to a strong upper finish.

Best regards

Nice result - difficult to get right (I know, I don't frequently)!

Like the deep black background enhancing the natural glow of the green

Great idea and super execution of it.
