Cats and dogs

September 2025

This kind of image has such a draw and appeal, both due to the aesthetics but also the contrast and pop. You chose well with monochrome rather than colour as it removes any potential distraction and allows us to focus in so intently on those striking eyes.

winner

You've expertly mixed architecture, geometry and contrast here to create a compelling and very aesthetically pleasing image. It works incredibly well in black and white with the various lines in the image acting as both leading lines and natural frames: the composition couldn't be any more perfect!

Meet the expert judge

What divine colour and lighting! This image is truly gorgeous, with great framing, perfect depth and a great draw. The waves frame the dog so well and I love some of the warm hues where the light is leaking through the water.
