The Bluebell Wood

[Didache]

Hi all .. in a break in the spring rain I went into the woods to see what I could find. What I found were carpets of bluebells, among the loveliest of the spring flowers.

Enjoy!

Hi,
I like photo 2. It appears to me that 5 tree elves are playing in the field. The shot delivers a very happy mood.

Very nice images, I like them both. Not often that you have the opportunity to photograph a scene like this. As to suggestion for improvement, I would crop a little more of the tree trunk in #1. IMHO #2 would be the stronger of the two images if the you poped the saturation a shade and toned down the brightness of the trees in the background. Overall two very pleasant images to view.

Thanks for that Old Timer - both first class suggestions. It's not worth reposting just a recrop but here is the version of No. 2 with the improvements you suggested - plus a small crop off the far right.

Cheers

Didache, I really like both of these a lot. The color of the bluebells is really beautiful, and I think your second version with the saturation boosted looks great.
I like the texture of the tree in the first shot too...especially with the flowers more in the background and a bit muted. Really nice.
