[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo is my 200th. This picture was taken during my trip to Caprock canyon here in Texas weeks ago with Mel and Pam, our TE's fellows. We all got off and took pictures.

I lower myself down to the earth so that I can use this small grass as my main foreground. Texas has a lot of this kind of grass in the countryside. There are a lot of open spaces too in Texas, and so sometime it is hard to find some useful foreground.

Oh this is very beautiful!!! I love the grass in the foreground and the color is perfect. This picture really jumps out in the gallery! TFS

This one really caught my eye as I looked at the "Gallery" page 1. Great color and I really like the blurred trees along the horizon line.

Greetings from Florida......Greg

A very good morning indeed. Well Done.
Regards.

Hi, Sothy,
congratulations on your 200th!! It's a beauty, too. I love the way the grasses seem to be holding the sun and the way it bends to the right. Great composition with that diagonal line and beautifully toned colors. Invredible catch! Than you and warm regards,
Shelly

Hi Sothy,
Congratulations on your 200th posting, which is simple in composition, but truly eye-catching. I like the way you have positioned the sun within the grass border, and the lighting seems to have set the grass "strands" on fire. Very well captured.
Cheers Grant

Hi Sothy,

Morning Sothy,

I know I was standing there with you when you took this shot and I have a similar one as well but I hate to admit this but I think I like your shot better. The grass was a great idea and I'm glad you got it.

Congrats on your 200th,

Mel

Hi Sothy.. Post card shot! This sky is so stunning, the warm orange is beautiful, you have composed the photo very well with the sunrise seen through the heads of the wheat & they make perfect silhouettes.

Hi Sothy, I'm a bit late. But I want to send you my Congratulation for your number 200. A very nice sunset image. I see you took it in Texas. For me it is assosiated with Asia. The warm colours of Asia. Maybe it's your spirit that gives me this feeling. Nino.

Hi Sothy,
Congrats on your 200th posting. This is a high impact shot, and I like the artistic way you framed the foreground. You controlled the strong light of the sun well here with the exposure level. A very fine presentation, and very painterly. Cheers...later.
John

Hi Sothy
I hope you are fine
I am actually travelling in Cambodia. The water festival will start tomorrow.
Very nice and minimalist composition with warm colors
Well done
Bertrand

hi sothy,
golden colors of morning glory!
the inclusion of the cereal-bearing plant is an added awe.
