Hi Trevor nice close up on the bluebells but the image looks a little flat and think a tighter crop would put more focus on those lovely flowers.

You have the edit box ticked as yes so had a go hope you don't mind. Feel free to say if it's not to your taste.

i think its a little flat, maybe add some fill flash , it would help if it was if more light was falling it, possibly improve the contrast in post processing

Thanks for the comments, Maureen, Yes the tighter crop does look better thanks for the suggestion.
