Paulo,
Your grass foto is beautiful ! The light on the flowers and the DOF, to me, are a very effective combination.
Thanks for including it along with the others.

I like the wildness and roughness of #2.

Thanks for the comments.

Ref. #1, the grass photo, it was one of those moments... I was just packing up and going back to the car, when I noticed the sun coming over the coastal dunes and highlighting the dew on the stalks. I used the ZM C Sonnar 50, I really like this lens for the transition between what is sharp and the progressing diffusion towards the background.

Ref. #2, I sat on the cliff for several minutes, just playing with the timing of the waves pounding the rocks. I also tried some long exposures, but in the end, I liked this one better, it has more energy.

Yes, the grass image is fantastic and outstanding. Great idea to keep your eyes open when you decided to leave!

None of these are compelling for me. I'd use a 10 stop on #2 to create some drama/movement. #3 I'd dual process the sky and foreground for higher dynamic range. #1 is nice light, but just not particularly compelling as a subject.

Thanks. As for #2, there you go. Colour and B&W.
