Hi,

I found some bluebells with an interesting pose. Looks like a wonderful wild flower season is starting.

Thanks for looking

Now that's stunning!

You did it again! This is fantastic! Almost looks like you did an Orton effect on it.

I absolutely love the softening effect you used here. Beautifully delicate!

Thanks everyone!

I've become fascinated studying "Photo Impressionism" by Patterson
and Gallant. There is some wonderful work there. It's beyond fun
to try and apply these techniques!

Yes Todd, this is an Orton type effect. It can really give images a surreal feeling. Here is an example of another.

Great work! Both are beautifully and artfully composed.

Fantastic job on both photos!

I agree!
The second is my favorite, and it looks fantastic.

Very nice treatment to both shots. Love the soft feel.

Beautiful! Very well done.

Both are awesome images Jeremy. One of the best chiming bell images I've seen. And the effect works wonderfully.

This are really nice. Well composed, and I like the ortonized effect however you're doing it.

I have to say as a bit of a personal preference that I'm not too strong on the all black background. I know this is common on the flora forum and some seem to like it, It does a good job of isolating the flowers. But for me it is a more natural photo to have some sort of background to give the photo a little sense of place. Just a personal thing as both are very nice.
