*I felt that the saturation on this image was a little high so I have reprocessed*

This is my third visit to the Bluebells in Micheldever Wood, Hampshire. I went back for the setting sun to an area which I know allows the light into the forest. I had made many compositional studies on my last 2 visits and wanted to "add light" to some of the ideas which I had realised.

I used a telephoto lens here to isolate the trunk of a Beech tree. I love the side lighting on the tree and flowers.
The sun was softened by thin, low cloud which works perfectly here but there was a gentle breeze which I had to work around.

This shot required no filters to be used and the processing is minimal. I used Lightroom to process from the RAW file to a useable image. I used the Canon 5D Landscape profile within LR to correct the image colours and contrast. I find these camera profiles excellent and they save me processing time.
