I forced myself to take a picture of something I rarely look at.

Seed head on the grass on the bank of a pond at the Riverwalk Parkway, Riverside, CA

I forced myself to do this, with a 100-400L when I was after birds. I only do grasses etc with a macro lens.

80D, 100-400L mkII @ 158, 1/320 @ f/6.3, ISO 160 hand held

And it worked, Jerry! What a beautiful shot! I love to watch grasses swaying in the wind.

Gorgeous light and clarity, great soft background and color contrast with the grass, very effective crop!

It's a lovely shot Jerry, don't know why you had to force yourself to take it though...my lens often wanders when I'm waiting for birds and other things to come along...

Thanks, I was fixated on the birds and the grass was too high to see over so instead of just passing on to get an angle on the birds I forced myself to pause and do a shot of the backlit grass instead of being upset about loosing the angle on the birds. I usually use a 180 macro to do pictures of grasses and parts of plants but this 100-400L can focus so close (under 3') it can sub for a macro sometimes.
