THIS week’s picture was taken at Pennington Flash Nature Reserve in Leigh by amateur photographer Jade Carter.

The 17-year-old, of Duke Street, Tyldesley, said: “I feel like this image has so much detail the colours just explode into the image.”

The Wigan and Leigh College student aspires to be a professional photographer, saying: “I feel like I have widened my range of photography since being at college – I am really trying to make it.”
