Paul Sedgwick, Deputy Ranger, of Windsor Great Park, said: “This competition is the perfect opportunity for anyone with a camera or smart phone to show off their shots of the Park this summer. With thousands of acres to explore, we’re hoping that our competition entries will show some of the areas, planting and wildlife in a brand new light. There is nothing quite like viewing what you know well through the eyes – or lens – of someone else. I can’t wait to see the entries start rolling in.”
