Grass

This is a single frame focus stacked from 73 input images with Zerene Stacker. It was mostly a practice excercise to see if I could successfully stack a very flimsy grass specimen with my current setup.

The grass is probably native to Western Washington and grows to at least 6 feet.

One of the most attractive grasses I have seen. Nicely rendered, although I think I would have cropped out that upper stem and seeds.

Here are two more versions. I'm having a hard time deciding which I like better.

The second of the two new versions is what I had in mind and I think it has much better impact than the others.

If we are voting put me down for the last image being the most pleasing.
