I live about 45mins from the New Forest so normally visit several times each season. This was taken late in the afternoon on a hot August afternoon with a heat haze softening the background and making the tree stand out. I have photographed this pine a number of times and the results this day were just as I hoped and reinforce two elements. First the need to pre-visualise an image and know what you want to achieve and the second is the importance of returning to the same place in many different conditions. Available in a portfolio edition of 50 and and edition of 15 larger prints.
