[QUOTE="Michie, post: 77548604, member: 628"] An abstract photograph by June Sharpe has won this year's International Garden Photographer of the Year competition. "The layered branches of this conifer reminded me of the dancing cranes often featured in Japanese woodcuts," said Sharpe. "Now, more than ever, it is vitally important to connect with nature and highlight the beauty and fragility of our planet's ecosystems." In post-processing, Sharpe enhanced what she describes as a "sense of the 'birds' dancing in a fantasy woodland". Head judge Tyrone McGlinchey said: "When judging pictures we are hoping to be embraced, and taken on a journey, within a story. "We are pulled into and beyond the symbolic dancing cranes, and embraced by their 'wings', to a place of hope and peace. It is rare that one can connect with nature and feel such compassion."
