Hello Bulent:

This is a great capture. The detail and composition are stunning.

Did you know it is wild oat (Avena fatua)? It is a very prolific and aggressive weed that infests grain fields. There are 2 kernels in this photo (covered in hair). The long dark things attached to the grains are awns. They twist as they dry after the kernels have matured. If you wet the grain and awns, the awns will uncurl. This helps to drill the kernel into the soil, or at least find a crack. The unwinding awns tend to make the grain look 'alive'; something that my students were always fascinated in.

Once again, great shot and thanks for sharing it.

Regards, John

Thank you all very much for visiting, enjoying and commenting. I am really happy that you found this image satisfying. It took a few days of thinking and an hour of shooting to reach here; it was a most satisfying experience for me... Strangely, I first really "saw" these beauties of nature while looking at their photo! Now I understand what A. Huxley was saying when he remarked that he only understood  things that had been described in the books...

John,
Many thanks for your detailed note that I found amazing. I still like them as before, even though we call them weeds :)

Mike,
This was in fact a toned monochrome version. The colors look a lot like the original. I just thought the B&W version lacked some charm that was added by the sunny color.

Boris,
Let me see what I can do ;)

 

Nefis...

I understand that Bulent. Go with the work .. framed and presented at exhibition level! neat .... regards miken

There's something very Eastern about this arrangement that incorporates both precision and delicacy. Yet it's not quite idealistic or iconic enough to elicit a comparison to Chinese or Japanese painting. There's a bit of unexpected comedy in the sharp turn of the leaves. It is a little piece of random "now" that gives a playful nudge to an otherwise sedately eternal composition. This might distress a Japanese or Chinese master illustrater but it pleases me very much. Here the quirky unpredictability of the individual comes peeking through. This piece surely results from a sensability that conbines the settled stoicism of the East with the more individualistic dynamism of the West, one with a foot on two continents.

like tender fingers, Bulent; you must have a very beautiful mind ;-} dp

gercekten sade ve cok guzel..ellerinize saglik.... not: benim karemdeki adamlar deve guresi seyrediyorlardi...saygilar.

Beautiful image! Elegant and stylish. 

When looking at this for the first time, colored calligraphy came to mind for some reason...On 2nd glance, it feels a bit like looking at an 'Indonesian wayang puppet'... This might be because of the delicate and gracious flowing lines in the photo. I very much like the bareness and purity of your composition. A photo that soothes the viewer... Very lovely work, Bulent.

How many have used the word "elegant" to describe this photograph?  It suits.  There is, as Jack and Marjolein have alluded to, a slight Eastern feel to this.  It is lovely work, Bulent. 

 

i cant reach any deeper than all the voices before mine my brother; indeed you are the man Bulent, the owner of an elegant mind.

 

Perfect work.Superb. Regards

 

The thumbnail attracted me to this one right away.  I've nothing to add in the way of a critique that hasn' t already been said.  I do like the way the grass fills the frame and the details that are apparent in it's parts.  One thing, a bonus if you will, that I've enjoyed is John's Botany lesson. Very interesting when read while viewing your post.   Best, LM.

It's a too long time I have been away...

This detail study is indeed very elegant, just look how gently the "wing" of the left one just touches the "wing" of the middle one". Great care was take when you composed this photo. Delicate.

A superb image. A hearty congratulations.
