    This is an example of a Spanish Bluebell, this species has become very common and is beginning to displace the English Bluebell, particularly in rural areas. Hope you like it, I processed this one using DPP as opposed to Adobe RAW. All comments most welcome.

    Simple and very elegant. Love the graduated greens in the BG. Lovely image Johnathan.

    Thanks Judy, the top is natural, I did apply just a little burning to the sides and the base.

    Hey Jon, I like the flowers and the BG but it's too straight and centered for my tastes. I think a bit of a CW rotation would make this look even better.

    Hi Jonathan, I love it as presented. Details, colors, BG and light are all spot on. Any info on the techs?

    Really beautiful work, Jon. I might take the darkness at the top up just a little so it has a more gradual blend to it. Perfect DOF here and the exposure looks very nice. I kind of like the centered/straight up position for this one - it looks like I'd see it in the field so it works for me here.
