This is a wonderful image of the bluebells early stage bloom with the pinks and blues. The blooms are nicely isolated against the green background. The bluebell is one of my favorite flowers. Well done. Chet

Nice macro!! The frame is full, and colors are terrific. I don't mind the leaf crop on left sice. The detail of the top leaf sets the stage for the bloom. I would like the entire bloom sharp. Backgrd is perfect... Well done!

Lovely composition, Carolyn. The blue and pink against all the green really pop.
