Tall grasses in a prairie preserve

Self-nomination. I originally took this picture back in 2001 as part of a class project along with 200 others. This one, I think, best captures the feeling of being surrounded by a field of grass taller than you are in the middle of nowhere - it just feels like the wall of grass is going to jump forth and swallow you.

  • Object. Maybe you had to be there... Denni 21:59, 2004 Nov 4 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Looks a little washed out to me. I tried playing with the colors but just couldn't get a vibrent pic outta it. Cavebear42 22:03, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Agree with Cavebear42. Also, for somebody who is not used to high prairie grass (i.e. me), it is difficult to tell how high it really is, and appears as if the camera was placed low to the ground. -- Chris 73 Talk 00:09, Nov 5, 2004 (UTC)

  • Oppose. Colours are washed out and it's not in focus - Adrian Pingstone 15:50, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. washed. Darkone 16:46, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Not very interesting, visually appealing or technically competent, sorry! -- PaulLomax 09:44, Nov 7, 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. More salt in the wound I'm afraid. I cant tell the grass is tall, but the picture is drab, full of jpeg compression, and just not quite up there. --Fir0002 11:17, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Oppose. I live on the prairies and this picture just doesn't have enough color constrast to make it visually appealing. Picture of such on a bright sunny day would probably have turned out a lot better. RedWolf 06:39, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)
