In Tunnicliffe’s rendition it is early winter the leaves are on the oak tree and beech sapling the ferns are still green the soil still has enough warmth to push up various fungi.

In my picture I have moved the pheasants to centre stage into the foreground along with a fallen branch which is heavy with moss inspired by the damp conditions near my home. Instead of a recognizable distant view I chose a distant light shinning in the glade that one could be walking towards.
