A dramatic image of an urban garden has won the Royal Horticultural Society’s annual photography competition
The overall winning picture by Helen McLain, from Illinois, US, was picked from thousands of images of gardens, plants and nature from around the world which were entered into the RHS photographic competition.
The image captures the backdrop of the US city’s skyline at sunset contrasting with swathes of plants flowering in Lurie Garden, Millennium Park.
The winner of the youth section of the RHS photographic competition was Elliot Connor, 15, from Sydney, Australia, who captured a shot of a tiny bush cricket perching on a leaf within Garigal National Park.
