One from a few weeks ago, at a bluebell woods in Wiltshire. This year seemed to be an especially good year for bluebells, I've never seen such a thick carpet over the whole woodland, really spectacular!

Cheers,

Dan.

Thanks for the comments everyone. :smile: I've just noticed the leaves on the right hand side that I really should have cropped out. It's weird how easy it is to miss these things during editing!

Cheers,

Dan.

Yep, it was a great bluebell display this year. Does anyone here know how it was for the Snake's Head Fritillary? Love the light filtering through here. A beautiful scene, very well photographed. :toast: :toast: :toast:

Lovely image and really nice subtle light and colour. As already mentioned I'd take a little off the right where the leaf is and I'd also be tempted to alter the colour ever so slightly. Here I've added a little contrast to the foreground and added some blue via curves to take the slight warm cast out of the blue bells. Just thoughts. Tristan

Beautifully captured Dan. I like Tristan's PP, does give it more depth. :toast: :toast:
