2020 - a year in review - part one

My maternity leave was finishing the week lockdown was first enforced. All booked work was cancelled and I realised that all plans for 2020 were slowly crumbling. With no idea of how the year would go, I reverted to the photography I love and started a small black and white documentary series within my 2km restricted area.

Why did this image get awarded first place?
