Garden Bluebelles by phil_howcroft

Garden Bluebelles

Shot in the garden, these bluebelles always make a nice splash of colour in May.

Note I always spell bluebell with an extra 'e', because I think the bells are truly belle.

Anyway, that's my excuse for the spelling. Edited in GIMP with a little crop, some curve adjustments of the channels (to get a bit more natural blue)

Shot on a tripod after a day gardening !

Nice aren't they :)

Beautiful flowers

An immediate fav, Phil. The blue is so rich and vibrant. I love it.

@allie912 thanks allison, i was worried I'd overcooked the colours in post processing as they were a little subdued 'in camera'

I do prefer your spelling too, Phil! Gives them a character that they deserve!

I think you're right Phil....I didn't think my spelling the other day looked right & now I know why....I usually spell bluebelles like that too but the iPad changed the spelling.
A very rich blue too!
