These bluebells are found in various parts of N Europe but are most common in England - somewhat different to the Virginia bluebells of N America.

A lovely wash of soft pastel colors. I don't know that the OOF flowers were necessary, but they don't detract. I like this a lot!

The light and the soft blues are wonderful Ian. Very well done in my opinion.

I love the separation and focus on this one, Ian. It has a very painterly quality. I'm glad you left in the oof blooms in the lower right corner. Extremely well done.

Ian, I love the delicate, soft feeling of this image, specially the beautiful low saturation of the colors. Excellent photo for me.
Take care.

Gently soft and looks like a painting. A real joy to view, Ian.

Ian:

I generally like the softness and the painterly mood of this image.

The blue bells looks a little wash-out on my uncalibrated screen and dialing back the highlight a little may help.
