Phil Yeomans, Thorns in the Light (SINGLE SHOT 2025)

Photographed in my backyard, this close-up captures the striking contrast of a raspberry bush against a dark fence. The red thorns and green leaves come alive as sunlight breaks through, highlighting the delicate yet resilient beauty of the plant. A simple bramble, transformed by light, revealing the quiet strength and artistry found in nature’s smallest details.
