Well, I like the star in the bottom left, but the rest doesn't do much for me...

Riaan, It's an interesting try, but at f/11 and ISO 100 shutter speed was too slow to prevent the smear of the blowing fronds. Better to jack the ISO in a situation like that and let post-processing take care of the noise.

Thanks for looking Mike, Russ. It is appreciated.

Russ, the movement in the grass was captured intentionally, therefore the settings. I was trying to not make the scene static.

It's a bit too thin to hang a composition on, I'm sorry to say. Technically, however, I can't fault the shot.
