Posted by MaryB (Staffordshire, United Kingdom) on 4 April 2008 in Plants & Nature and Portfolio.
Firstly, I must say that I am overwhelmed by the comments on yesterday's post. Thank you all so much for your continued support, I really do appreciate it :)
This was taken on the 29th April 07 @ Merrions Wood nr Birmingham UK or Bluebell wood as we know it. Every year the display of wild bluebells gets better and better. I shall be returning at the end of the month when they bloom again.
Have a fantastic weekend everyone. I'll be back on Monday :)
Any tips or constructive criticism are welcome :)
I really appreciate all your comments, thank you so much. I'm only sorry I've not got time to respond. I do read all the comments and will try to answer any questions you have about my posts :)
The colors of the flowers are so wonderful! Beautiful capture.

It is scenes like this that make me miss England so much. Had a thick bluebell wood close to where I lived a long time ago! We have a few wild bluebells keep appearing around the apartment so I should take a walk through the woods one day that adjoin the property. I've been a little leary about going alone: we have cyotes and racoons as inhabitants of most of the woods in this neck of the woods! They should be OK if they are not cornered!
Such a wonderful memory evoking picture for me :-)

I like the softness of the light and color. The finish has a painting-like effect. Very nice indeed!

A storybook setting, MaryB ... delightful composition!

One of my favorite photos love the brightness of the colors. My eyes are not the greatest so I really enjoy the way it stands out and shows its beauty. Love your work

Oh Mary, it's so beautiful, the colours of Spring

Beautiful colors and composition. I wish we were as far along in the season. :-|

Oh what a lovely sight! Here we get lots of flowers on the forest floor right after the snow is gone, before the leaves are out. We have mostly red trillium and the occasional white trillium.

Ahhh...leaves. We don't have any leaves yet. Just buds. But this picture gives me hope :0)

I've seen several albums (on Webshots) with photos made in this wood with the fantastic bluebells! The contrast between the green of the fresh leaves and the blue of the flowers is refreshing!
5 Apr 2008 3:13am
Really beautiful! Awesome colors and composition
5 Apr 2008 4:32am
This is lovely... looks like a painting...
5 Apr 2008 6:30am
Just a suggestion, I would have tried to take out the few dead branches on the right...
5 Apr 2008 6:31am
A beautiful shot. Would love to walk there.

Looks like a great place Mary. Bluebells are notoriously difficult to photo with the bluebells the right colour, these are not far off the correct colour, if you are going to get close ups try a few different exposures or bracket your shots, have fun
