A few folks from the camera club dropped by a nearby (near to me, anyway) location along the James River where the bluebells were in abundance. I had a lot of fun crawling around in the dirt trying to get a decent picture of these guys.

Hi Tim,
Sorry I didn't get down your way last weekend but it looks like you had some fun before heading out.
I think you did a great job capturing the delicate nature of these flowers. I like this composition, there is an inverted pyramid in the blooms that is kind of fun. The right side of the frame doesn't hold as much interest for me. One possibility would be to crop to square and really tighten up the comp. Thanks for sharing!
Very nice Tim! I love everything about this one - especially the color and how you've used backlight to enhance the delicate texture of the blooms. However, I do think Wayne has a good point concerning the right side of the image...
Tim, I think Bill and Wayne are right on track with the compositional tips. I think the square crop is the right call. Everything else works for me. Great color. Lots of interesting details.
Very nice capture!
