- This is such a standout image and an immediate favorite. The conversion to black-and-white and shallow depth of field allows the viewer to be drawn into this quiet and simple landscape and feel as though they are there, watching this solitary cat walk away. Beautifully done and congrats! ~ illona

- Thanks for the First Prize. My name is Wu Wen-Po, a photographer from Taiwan. This picture was taken with Leica M10 and post processed by Silver Efex Pro2 four months ago. This image reflects scene in my dream.

- This is such a wonderful image. Strong framing and the tree in the foreground give the image great depth, and the lower perspective provides a dramatic feel. Nicely done! ~ illona

- I thank the judge for selecting my kitten photo. My name is Jo-Ann, and I am a sports photographer and a pet photographer. I believe I was messing around with my new 85mm f/1.8 lens when I spotted little Kirbi's beautiful blue eye peeking at me through the broken wicker basket. Irresistible!
