THIS photograph of a deer in Pennington Flash Country Park is our picture of the week.
It was taken by amateur photographer and full-time carer Dave Gorvett, 55, of Rugby Road, Leigh.
He said: “I didn’t know that the deer were there until someone told me, so I got my stuff hoping to see them and there they were in the water.”
Dave started taking pictures last summer but has only really focused on his photography skills since Christmas.
“It was a lucky accident and a very happy coincidence,” he said.
“With photography you have the luck of the draw.”
