The image captures David Varley, a young boy with an unwavering passion for photography, as he faces an unexpected confrontation at a serene bird sanctuary in Castleford, Yorkshire. It is December 1976, and David eagerly aims his camera lens towards a majestic swan gracefully gliding across the water.
