The two images, below, were taken as part of Assignment 1: Contrasts in the Photography 1: Art of Photography course. "The only competition I ever entered was earlier this year when Outdoor Photography magazine were asking for pictures of trees... to my surprise I recently received an email from the editor asking if I'd mind her using them in the August issue of the magazine. Naturally I said yes..."
In his assignment notes, Tony wrote "The real tree was spectacular in that it was showing off like a Peacock and is very much a living organism. The 'phoney tree' (excuse the pun) is no more than a disguised mobile phone mast and mimics the other picture completely, but is a total fraud. So in many ways they are the same and yet they contrast completely."
