Blue on Grey
Bluebells in Bury Hill Woodland, West Sussex.
I wanted to capture the bluebell in the foreground and the also the shades of blue in the bokeh and blur. So I used Gimp to 'colour select' in 'addition' mode to select all of the shades of blue in the flowers (this took about 30 minutes in all), increased the colour saturation. Inverted the selection and desaturated the background. Finally, adjusted the brightness and contrast of the desaturated background.
Came out pretty well.
