Little did I realise that a picture from a field in Kinver, Staffordshire, taken on a warm day in June 2024, would be displayed at Kew Gardens on a cold day in February. My photograph, Cool Light on the Poppies, was awarded second place in the wildlife category of the International Garden Photographer of the Year competition. I was invited to Kew Gardens to receive my certificate and attend the reception, which was a wonderful experience. I was very pleased with the result, and I enjoyed a lovely day at Kew Gardens, where the sun was shining and signs of spring were present.
Please visit the IGPOTY site to learn more about my picture.
This is my blog account of my visit to the Poppy field where I took the winning picture. I was also shortlisted with another picture of the sun streaming over the hill which is included in the blog.
