Very pretty spotting Frank!
Espectacular que bella panorama muy enigmático:: felicidades
Thanks for clarifying Frank!
Alice and Karen, thanks so much for your review and comments. I appreciate your diligence in keeping the content within guidelines. I've identified the grass species and changed the title of the spotting. Alice, yes, the image was provided to me by the FWS refuge staff who requested to use this image as the main image for the Occoquan Bay Refuge mission. They also provided the species identification. Cheers, -Frank
Hi biasi.frank & welcome to the Community!
Alice is correct, we do require the focus of all spottings to be on a specific living organism - animal, plant, fungus etc. so you would need to retitle the spotting so that is focused on the grass & not the landscape - there is more guidance in our FAQs http://www.projectnoah.org/faq
I also see you have stated that the photo is shared courtesy of US Fish and Wildlife Service. Please can you confirm that you have the FWS's express permission to use this image?
If you know if that is wheat or oats growing, then you have a living organism, but it you don't we are not to accept just beautiful scenes.
