A strong diagonal composition that is delicate and wispy! Janet

You have turned this simple grass into a flowing piece of magic. So soft, yet wonderful detail and colors. I love your work!

amazing what a beautiful picture you have made from a simple plant. Love the colors, the play between sharp and unsharp, the light, the composition, the framing ... perfect!

Thanks kindly John, the kit lens is an inexpensive one that came with the camera.
The culs (close up lenses)used were +1, +2, +4.

For a simple plant, these are amazingly complex. There's so much here to enjoy - the colours, the dog-hair-like awn, and so worthwhile at original size. What do you mean by "kit lens with culs"? Pennisetum rubrum? John
