Dusk at the bluebell wood

I'm on the road for the next few days and so I thought I'd post my last bluebell shot, from the archives. :-)

I like this one best of all!!

A 3 second exposure just as the sun was dropping below the horizo - brought out the greens and the blues well, and also that soft gloden glow on the trees.

The place is quite magical!!

Has to be seen to be really appreciated.

I hope you like it too.

I can't believe I am seeing this... !!! I also would assume you've changed/saturated the colours a bit, but if you say you didn't I believe you.

It's just so incredibly English! I had my garden full of them and they were 'sacrosanct' - no mowing allowed until they were all gone... ;)
Now, I've got this little terrace and I am missing my huge garden, but not the work :)))
