That is beautiful! So often I have tried to show light coming through grass to no avail. This picture shows exactly what I am noticing and trying to capture in those moments!

    I don’t think there is anything wrong with post processing, especially when it helps you portray what YOU saw, instead of just what the camera saw. 🙂

    We live in a PP world. It is all part of completing a photo and very much a creative process.

Loving that. I don’t know what that grass is call but we have it growing in ditches here. It’s really course even though it looks soft. Kind of like some people I’ve know.
