This image was taken in the forests around the Conwy Valley in North Wales, using a Nikon D200.
Forests to me are magical places, and I always see stories appear when I walk through them. Bringing something unusual into a forest and placing it creates an immediate focus of attention, and it leads you to think of why it could be there and what happened.
This is the effect I’m always seeking to create – I want people to come up with their own imaginary world, and let it appear through my photography.

I find it strange that someone would have put up antlers in a tree this way, but in rural (and no longer so rural) parts of Texas people also put such things on their fences and gates. My own recent take on antlers was quite different:
