Bluebells

Bluebells.  Always a good sight to see, and a good subject to for macro and closeup photography.  So when I saw them out on the Easter Saturday visit to High Wood, I swapped my MPE-65mm for my 100mm Macro Lens, and had a play at taking the bluebells.

First the arty one – a blended merge of two shots in Photoshop, one out of focus and the other in focus, in an attempt to create an Orton like effect.
