    Bluebell Wood .. last one

    Hi all .. as people seem to have been enjoying my Ortonised bluebell wood shots, here's one last one.

    I really would encourage people to try out the Orton Effect on shots like these. It doesn't work for all things, but when it works it adds a magical, almost fantasy, feel to it.

    Cheers
    Mike

    I don't pay too much attention to adding effects to images, I just like something or I don't.

    I like it.

    The simplicity of the color pallet here and the spare composition are what IMO make this such a nice image.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Hi Mike,

    I like the richness and magic of this image. All it needs are a few fairies flying through the air!

    Cheers,

    This image is very fun to look at. I find it holding my interest around the tree and the shadow it is creating. Nice shot! I wouldn't fix it at all.
