‘The Tree’ was the theme set by Jem Southam for the 7th Masterprint Challenge, and I was delighted to have this image selected as one of the 5 winners.

What a picture… the combination of the cool colours of the water and the warm berries, and the anarchic structure across the image is something that gives me a lot of pleasure. I can imagine spending quite a bit of time with this picture, and actually, this is one picture which I would just loved to have made myself …it works on all sorts of different levels.
