Dockey Wood in bluebell time

I went up to Dockey Wood (about 25 minutes' drive away) several times last week. It's wonderful there when the bluebells are out.
This is a combination of two different shots : a 'conventional' one, overlaid with an intentional camera movement one at 79% opacity.
I wanted something impressionistic for this scene.
Happy weekend!

[Jen Hudson]

You be so pleased with all these wonderful comments. Job well done. You have just the right amount of bluebell detail within the blur. The greens are nice and it's a storybook feel. One for close up and also I think one to see standing back.

Fav! This definitely needs to go on a wall!!

[crewnelson]

Wow! Fantastic processing. Fav

[Hamble]

A bluebell wood just lends itself to this kind of impressionistic processing. Love it. A fave.

[Janet]

You have certainly achieved your objective here, Alison! A fav for me, for sure!

[Matt Clendon]

Very nice, although I see it as a little ghostly. I imagine a pale, fair maiden wandering through, one that mysteriously then vanishes. Beautifully composed and pleasing to look at.

[Sharon Lee]

This is just so peaceful to look at, could handle this one on a large canvas.

[Rachel Withey]

Wow. This is absolutely fantastic and I nearly missed it. Big fav
