Edited using the "Orton" method, popularised by Michael Orton, these bluebells take on a dreamlike quality. Taken at Brockholes Wildlife Trust, Preston.

    I'm not normally an Orton fan, but I like the impressionist painting effect it gives here. Nice!

    i like the orton processing, but overall, on my monitor at least, it seems a bit too bright... toning down the brightness a notch or two might even enhance the dreamlike quality... ;)

    I like the Orton effect, but agree with what's been said about the brightness.

    I might suggest bringing down the brightness in the upper left above the diagonal of the sloping hill. Keeping the foreground close to current brightness will give photo some depth. Play around and show us more. Nice pic thumb.gif
