Description

Months of perseverance and scouting led to this capture. This woodland is local to me, but took some time to find 'the' specific woodland and composition I wanted - then I waited through the entire bluebell season to get this shot with many early alarms and failed attempts. The weather in 2024 was consistently grey with low pressure, now allowing the conditions I hoped for. This was captured just at the end of the bluebell season, due to the cobwebs being spun on the bluebell flowers. The light was perfect, with the warm sun casting beautiful sunbeams through the fresh green leaves of the ancient beech trees in this copse. This specific photograph is pleasing due to the light splitting the scene, with a distinct sun beam cutting the scene in two. Above is the canopy and beautiful leaves, below is the stunning light and bluebells, creating a balanced, ethereal and magical springtime scene.
