 First entry here on DPC, don't expect it to do so great. Shot with friends macro lens.

I saw this long grass with the sun shining on it when cutting the grass. I figured I might as well try a shot at it because I had a borrowed macro lens with me at the time. This is the result.

Thanks for the advise. I am kinda new to adding borders, so I am experimenting with different sizes. But I would agree with you, it is way too big.
