Very nice Alan and I particularly like the way it's set against a backdop of the more commonly coloured flowers.

Nice use of a blue backdrop but they look a bit abused to me.

nice composition and colours Alan. My only nit would be that the white bluebells do look slightly past their best.

Well thought out with respect to the context. Why did you only stack two shots - was the wind up/subject moving?

Very effective composition. I thought at first the background was sky.

Nicely seen and taken, must agree that the white-bells do look past their best though.

Kind regards,

Brett.

Nice! Really like the background.

How rare are white bluebells? I was photographing bluebells in Essex and there were quite a few of them....they were definately native ones, coz I made sure... :wink:

Cheers for the comments

Tom - At the distance i was from the subject, i only needed to take 2 shots when looking through the view finder.

EDIT - Forgot to say.The reason i said they were rare was, out of the whole of the wood there were only about 6 white bluebells, here and there.
