It's Friday evening, the end of a full-on week and an email from John Manno Decagon Gallery, New York, drops into my mail box, telling me I have been awarded First Prize in their Botanicals exhibition!
Eminent photographer and judge Lee Anne White comments on my selected work: Alys Walker Tinson’s Inner Circle is seductive, pulling us into the mesmerizing inner world of an anemone—it’s crown of stamens surrounding a gathering of tightly packed pistils. The subtle light, camera angle, softy focused petals and shimmering flowerhead reveal the beauty and ingenuity of nature’s design.
My grateful thanks to Decagon and Lee Anne for selecting my image. A digital solo exhibition with Decagon Gallery will be happening this autumn - watch this space!
