I have been working on this picture for the past three days.  It was a lot more difficult than I anticipated and I'm not altogether happy with it. 

The reference photo was taken by my brother in law at a place called Dockey Wood in Hertfordshire in England during bluebell season (obviously!), and it's really true that the woods are just a carpet of blue at that time of year.

That's one of the things I miss about England, the abundance of bluebells and primroses that grow wild in the woods and hedgerows during the Spring.  In this part of the United States we don't get them at all, though I have managed to keep some English primroses going through our bitterly cold winters by covering them with leaves in the Fall to protect them.  But bluebells seem to be non-existent, though I have seen them in the Northwest part of the country where the climate is similar to England.
