The local woodlands here in the south west of the UK erupt in a riot of bluebells every year about this time. Although these are "managed" woodlands, there is nothing artificial about the flowers here - these are completely wild and unmanaged, hope you like them!

Both are great shots! The second one makes me think that Robin Hood could appear on that branch anytime! Love it...a little slice of heaven.

The location seems to be quiet nice. I bet that with a little better framing, you could catch a nicer picture. The ones you posted just don't have the right composition.
I am not trying to be harsh, just trying to critique positively. I am sure all of us want to improve our shooting I guess it depends on what you're after: a snap shot or photo. The pictures your posted make nice snapshots. Better composition is what makes nice photos. Just my two cents if you care |

I think that's a bit harsh. I like the 2nd photo, the composition is nice, the tree forms a nice frame, there is good texture and colour. But I do agree that perhaps it's missing a focal point. I think that a person (perhaps the photographer) in the bluebells somewhere under the tree would add that and improve the shot. Probably follow the rule-of-thirds for placement. Without an object as focal point you might have been able to do something special with the light at a different time of day.
Otherwise I played with levels, contrast, saturation and sharpening a bit to give it a slight boost. |

These are both nice. #2 is very nice. I think the edit offered is over the top and lost all the "In-the-Woods" feel.
Snap shot??? OUCH!!! dale |

On the levels edits: I agree that peripatetic's edits are a little over the top, but having had three separate cracks at getting it "just right" before posting, I'm a fine one to comment :?: Generally I prefer to leave the levels as close to the original capture as I can get away with, I want to capture moment as I saw it, rather than a ultra-vibrant-super-version of reality, but then again I'm old fashioned like that :G Regards, John. |
