Can you help me with the next step? (5-2)

I can't see any logical next step.

Thanks! :D I also just noticed that in the bottom right 2 and 1 area, one of the 2's blue fields must fulfill the 1's requirement, so the other fields on the right of the 1 are sure to not be blue.

(I'll call the blue squares as mines)

If you look at the long vertical line with {6}, it is impossible for the two bottom tiles to both don't have mines underneath them (because of the 2 on the left side). Thus, the second tile from the bottom must have a mine underneath it.

This means that the fifth tile from the top (on the vertical {6} line, without counting the white spots) must not have a mine underneath, thus opening up possibilities in that direction

sorry if my explanation is a bit hard to understand
