Welcome to Shutter Notes, our weekly community feature. Shutter Notes gives you the chance to get to know our community members a bit better. Each member will share a little bit about themselves and their chosen image.

Tony Hutchinson is a partially retired housing and urban regeneration consultant. He has been practicing photography for about eight years

Why and how Tony created this image

The leaf, lit by the sun, was captured in Kew Gardens where Tony spends quite a bit of time creating images. The light was only on this one leaf for a few moments.

Tony used Lightroom and Snapseed in order to get the light through the leaf to glow.
