Dry Grass Near Guadalupe Reservoir

This photo was taken near Guadalupe Reservoir at the Almaden Quicksilver Park.

This was taken at f5.6 with a moderate telephoto. The depth of field was shallow enough – and the wind was blowing the grass – that only the center stalk is really in focus. If I had it to do over, I would experiment a bit with aperture to try to bring all three stalks of grass into focus, but still maintain the out of focus background.
