One from last weekend, at a superb bluebell woods in Wiltshire. This year was one of the best coverage of bluebells I've ever seen, although as it's a bit later this year the tree cover was quite thick. This photo was from one of the few areas that didn't have a solid coverage of bluebells, and i thought the grass gave it an interesting composition. Comments welcome.

Cheers,

Dan.

Very nice! Atmospheric. The only thing I'd say is that the colours look a bit warm on my monitor, but that could be my monitor.... :confused:

I like the way the bluebells lead your eye though the image!

I would say you made a good decision picking a sparser area of flowers and I garee with Dawn on the way they lead your eye through the shot.

Composition is lovely, the image just shouts "nature" and "early summertime" to me :smile:
