Make the story behind a photograph as important as the image itself.
– Jon Tonks
Jon adds…
Submit a photograph along with a caption, quote or information that will entertain, amuse or enlighten the viewer to something new. It sounds simple, but working as a documentary photographer I always want to have meaning or a story behind my pictures – it opens discussion, and adds a layer beyond the aesthetic. I have always felt this is an important tool when working within such a subjective industry.
Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve is a 450 acre country park. The forest has 900 veteran oak trees including England’s Tree of the Year 2014, The Major Oak.
These ancient trees often with just their gnarled carcases left are full of character and sculptural qualities. They stand proud in these ancient woodlands, dominating the landscape around them.
