‘AUTUMN/winter is my favourite time
of the year to photograph,’ says Paul
Cronin. ‘While the inclement whether
can be demoralising, the shorter days
and easier sunsets and sunrises can
soften the mood and light.’ Paul was
walking in the woods when he came
across a chestnut tree and lots of seeds
scattered on the path. ‘The hardest part
was finding a good composition within
the chaos of seeds, capsules and
leaves,’ he recalls. ‘I found a spot with
a solitary capsule delicately atop of
the moss and carried out a spot of
‘gardening’ to tidy up the scene. I had
spent a good hour or so looking about


  • it just shows how easy it is to miss the
    details when you are fixated on the
    bigger picture.’ Paul uploaded the shot
    to Twitter using #appicoftheweek.
