Went to local swamp and photographed some cottongrass on saturday.
The light was so hard and the photos looked so dull.

Gotta go there sometime at the sunrise to photograph these in a more beautiful light.

#2 is a great shot.

I like both of them. The light is great and the sweet movement fantastic.

You certainly have a talent for capturing the light Joni.

Yes Joni, harsh light is a problem for plant shots, but you have done very well with these two.
