I was wandering around a new, and very interesting bit of woodland that skirts the Cleddau estuary near Lawrenny in Pembrokeshire, for the first time.
This was the only picture that I made that day, and I almost didn't bother. I saw this scene and was strongly attracted by the way the two tress seemed to be deep in conversation with each other, but with total respect for each other's space, with the branches fitting together perfectly and not intersecting.
I looked at it for a long time and was far from convinced that, although I found it very appealing, it would make a good photograph. In the end, I thought "well, why not, it'll cost me nothing", and I had a go. When I looked at the image at home, and processed it, I thought "meh"! Then I looked again a few weeks later and fell head over heels in love with it, and made a big, A2 print of it.
To me the print looks fabulous and is one of my most favourite photographs I have ever made. there's a lesson for me in there, somewhere...!
