So I'm glad you got a similar impression. A month or so ago I saw a *huge* (as in 30 feet tall) enlargement of a bamboo forest photo taken by filmmaker Wim Wenders. It was truly beautiful, but it was almost too sharp...I think one of the most beautiful things about bamboo is the way it sways back and forth in the wind...that's what I was trying to photograph. Although I think it misses something without the rustling sounds.
