This photograph illustrates how the background is an important part of making a portrait. This is a picture by Don McPhee of author Alan Bennett to illustrate a story about Bennett's Yorkshire roots.
A ship on the rocks after a storm. Don McPhee was not there at the time of the shipwreck and so has to show the results of the disaster at dawn. The photograph conveys the seriousness of the wreck and how close to the shore it is.
