This oak tree image from Photographers Choice Getty Images collection was used in a creative composite image introducing a story called Fertile Ground in Proto magazine from Massachusetts General Hospital.

It is a fascinating stock sale for a landscape image in an unlikely setting – a medical journal reporting on new research on transplanting neurons and regrowing brain tissue – and shows that simply seen stock images like the solitary oak tree on a hill can be used by creative designers for all sorts of purposes far beyond our original ideas as photographers. The other two images in the composite are ©Ralph Hutchings and © Leo Chapman.
