English bluebells and green grass background.
Only manual focusing is done.
A try, keeping the camera on my left wrist. :)
It was really not easy.
This pic is from my visit to Powis Castle, Wales.

Firstly, thank you to everyone who voted for this pic. --
This is my first award. :)
A short incident about this photo: during my solo trip to Powis Castle, Wales, English Bluebells were blooming around me.
I wanted to go to the hilly path, which was famous for bluebells, other beautiful flowers, and a scented walkway, but somehow got lost and landed at the dead end.
(Not to worry, it was a safe place).
There I saw this lone flower. I wanted a tack-sharp image, but I did not have a tripod, so I used my left wrist to cushion the camera, manually focused, and clicked.
This morning I realized I wasn't lost. I went there to get my first award. :)
The little lost feeling of that moment is now a sweet memory for life. Isn't that beautiful?
