1st prize - The Beauty of Plants Garden Photographer (IGPOTY) of the Year (Comp 19)
This image is entitled Game Set and Match because it reminds me of the Wimbledon tennis tournament colours. In 2025 I won 1st Prize in the category the Beauty of Plants and the image was included in their touring exhibition. Dreams can come true!
Try, try, and try again…..
I am excited to have 11 of my images exhibited alongside the works of Gustave Fayet and Richard Burgsthal. The exhibition runs March 13th - 8th April 2026 at the Médiathèque André Malraux. Béziers, France
