Muhammad makes a good point. Shots of simple grasses can be very nice, however shooting them against the sky, or especially a sunset from lower down is where these shots really pop.

Try to isolate a long piece with an interesting shape and seed head can also work wonders.

In this shot, the eye wanders looking for a focal point where there isnt one, so limit the number of grass stalks and use the background as suggested for some magic shots.

I am in agreement with what has already been said, Dinah, and I hope you gain something from it.
With your love of wild grass, you could set yourself a challenge and photograph it against different backgrounds, possibly also finding something to include with the grass. One of my favourite photos, which I took a long time ago, has golden coloured grass around a gate post, simple and yet effective. Also, grasses with one or two flowers can be very attractive. Get your creative juices flowing.
You have good light here and good detail, which is just what you need, but you have included too much grass in your frame. You can either isolate some attractive bits, or get closer. Instead of lying down, you could pick some grasses and position them somewhere higher, against the sky. You could even take some home and place them in a suitable container, and provide your own background. The options are endless.
