Info Bluebells in a local wood. Simple composition with focus on one tree trunk and the nearest flowers. The common bluebell fills the floor of old woodland in Britain in late April-May. The bell flowers, curled tightly back at the tips, droop down from one side of the stem shaped like a shepherd's crook. All by me. -- Colin (talk) 18:56, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

Oppose I don't think the tree trunk is a very effective part of the composition; it's kind of just there, but doesn't make any kind of statement. I think including more of the trunk would be better, or otherwise not include it at all. Some flowers are also slightly blurred due to the wind; movement can be great if deliberate, but here it is merely a distraction and a faster speed would have been better. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:05, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
Neutral Causes me something unnatural. The transition from sharp to blurred to me abruptly.--Famberhorst (talk) 05:08, 14 May 2017 (UTC)- Oppose I'm more or less where Famberhorst is on this picture. I like the tree trunk being part of the picture. My problem with it is that I would like a little more DoF. I guess I can find a couple of bluebells that are fairly sharp from top to bottom, but my personal preference would be for there to be a few more. Chalk that up to a difference in taste, as this picture does achieve what it sets out to do. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:33, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination Thanks for the reviews. It's clear it isn't getting the love it needs to pass. -- Colin (talk) 08:31, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
