10/10 - I just love the simplicity and the short depth of field. This is somewhere between beautiful and humorous!

strange how something that's dead looks so pretty. great focus and composition.

Hey the Macro King is at it again....this is a wicked shot Klas, choice subject & execution, tis nicely framed & even tho the colours are not vibrant u have drawn attention to the form & structure. beautifully composed. simplicity at its best : {D

Reminds me the gymnastics we can see in the Olympics, with girls dancing with ribbons (don't know the name in English)...
Nice shot, Klas :-)

i think girls dancing with ribbons covers it quite well in english :-)

Thank you for the great comments guys. Those ribbons were what I thought about actually when I saw this grass. :)

Very nice, I wish I could get that type of quality when I take macro images.

Thanks. :) Only 1/10 sometimes much less gets close to this standard when I shoot. Under certain conditions 1 good photo in 100 shots is ok I think. But I'm rather picky with my work. (Not that it allways shows. ^_^)

fab technique!

This is a great capture, Klas. Many thanks!

nice one klas agree with monkeypuzzle. i realy like the simplicity and the colors

I believe Avi has already said it best, so I'll just add that I agree...10/10 and into my Favorites. :)

Oh Klas this is a beauty

Simple and super photo!

Thank you so much guys. Your comments warms my heart. :)

Great shot, Klas. It absolutely leapt out of the thumbnail, and just had to be one of yours.

Hehe... :) Thanks Simon!

Loving the small things in life. This pic helps me focus lol. Might get me out of my depression.

Thanks for the nice comment Sam. :) If it's of any help to you then I'm all the more happy.

Una imagen impresionante.Una de mis favoritas

Saludos

Beauty! Simple and well balanced composition!

Thank you guys for the great comments. :) That means a lot to me.

EXCELLENT shot. i love close-up pictures. What format did you take this in? standard film, self developed? commercially developed? scanned in? digital? please reply to that effect. Thank you very much, and once again, GREAT image! :D

Thank you Sasha. :) I shot it digitally with my Sony Mavica MVC-CD500. The original shot is 2592x1944 pixels.

Beautiful Klas, just awesome!

Thank you speedy_10. :)

I love how you took such a simple thing and made a beautful picture with it. Fantastic shot.

Thanks for the comment. :) What you said is exactly what I was trying to do with this photo, putting the ordinary in an extraordinary frame so to speak, so I'm glad you liked it that way.

You know, the helix's look alot like some of the fractal images I create. Interesting...I quite like this one too. High marks :)

I never thought about that but I guess you are right. Maybe that's one of the reasons I like your fractal images so much. Thanks for the kind words. :)

reminds me of my picture "A the stick" only yours came out much better!

Du gjorde rätt och gick tillbaks dit med kameran. En favorit till.

Hi Klas
superb image..and glad yuo went back to shoot it and share it with us

How dainty and lovely. I'm in love with this picture. Thanks for sharing it!

this is one great capture! i just love how simple it is, that there is nothing in focus except for this one stalk. you must have a great eye. i love the curling of the leaves, it is so graceful. also, i really like hoe there are no virbant colors, it keeps the focus on the structure and shape of the leaves. the focus is great, there is so much detail. i just love this shot, great work! ~abby

love it !

Nice!

ah single helixes, that can't be good for the genotype, interesting title, these do look like a separated dna strand. also i appreciate any fairly feasible reference to science. danke
