I always wonder WHY do grasses exert such an attraction?! There's nothing more commomn than grasses...and yet....they delight us, they refresh us and they bring a pleasant accent to photos and paintings alike! Just like in your shot here!

Perfect composition of Nature without Man. The blades of grass reaching for the sky form a binding to the whole image.

Without those grasses the image would seem a bit flat, but you have created a visual depth, well done :)

Tall grass is just so inviting. Just walking through is so relaxing. And it was a great place to play when I was a boy.
The shot has a 3D effect with the layers behind.

The grasses are at a touching distance. So we are "inside" the picture, inside the landscape and not looking at it from some distant spot.
