Bluebells Curtain Call + Co.

Gallery: FloraPosted May 24, 2012250 views15 comments

I thought someone might like to see a photo of the larger wooded area "out back" where I was shooting the bluebells close ups. You can make out bits of my neighbors' houses through the trees. This area is part of Mill Creek MetroParks, a county park district. I will also post an image of my helper who "sniffs" out the best comps.

Here's my helper "Bo" scoping out comps while I was shooting.

Beautiful scenery with well contrasting colors. Great composition with blue-green flower field in FG and the stream with spring green trees in BG. Nicely done Scott!!!

Really like this composition, Scott - I think it's the way the stream leads the eye out beyond the lovely flood of flowers and greenery in the fg' nice, soft colouring too.

Scott - Superb photo - lovely use of the Virginia Bluebells for the foreground and the stream gently leads the eye into the frame.

Pleased to meet Bo. What a pretty companion !!

Nice collection of Bluebells. Don't think I've ever seen this many in one photo. Hope your helper is better than my cat. The latter is always wanting to brush against whatever I'm photographing.
