Blue bells were in fine form up in Scotland last week, they're past it down here in Yorkshire.

Very nice and colourful enough to be a Chagall stained glass window.

Nothing wrong with the shot itself, composition and Bluebells etc look OK, but in all I feel it looks way overprocessed in the shadow/highlights, the whites look lightgrey and the blacks look not very dark grey.

Fair point Nigel, here's another attempt.

That is looking better already Tim.

The second one is supperb. Lovely bird, good picture, good crop, good colors.

Very strong portrait Tim but I feel the colours are just a bit over the top for my liking. Could be my monitor though.

Second one looks much better - bluebells really set it off. I can't wait to get stuck into puffins again next week :toast:
