I love the simplicity of this and the background gradient

David and Leszek, thanks for your kind comments.

So, Leszek, here's the story of why it's not crisp.  I like to shoot with an older Nikon macro lens (200 mm micro lens) first produced I believe in the late 1990s.  While it is spectacular for still photography, it is challenging to use for "stuff" that is moving.  I fell in love with the "calligraphic-like" patterns the grasses were forming due to the wind.  The image I posted was the one I liked best even though as you pointed out it is not as sharp as I would have liked it to be.  I will try to return to this subject matter.

Clean! "Calligraphic-like" is an excellent description for this stunning shot.
Well done.

Mark, it is still very beautiful.

Slight subject movement using ones special lens, (in my case Zeiss Milvus 135mm F2), but in your case that lens captured some wonderful, simple light.

Thanks
