A view from the Hallerbos, Belgium...

Wow - look at that lighting, and the color pop from the Bluebells - wonderful stuff Rense

I think #1 has a real magical feel to it - the shade really adds to the shot
 
Hi Rense. That first shot's a winner for me. The bright green leaves against the darker background is really nice, especially with the blue flowers covering the ground. I might clone out or tone down the bright spot just above the bluebells where the bark has come off one smaller tree. It attracts my eye to much.
 
Number 1 for me too , it has a serenity about it that I love in photos
 
I just wondered as the Spanish variety has started to 'invade' the woodlands in the UK and there are now quite a lot of hybrids replacing the native species.

In the 80's the same problem was described for the Netherlands. In our dunes we have some bluebell forests, but the only 'species' you find here are intermediates between the native species and the Spanish one! But in the Hallerbos, all plants - as far as I can say, didn't check them all! - look genuine non-scriptas!
