Judges Comment

This is such a simple yet beautiful image of a cat doing what so many cats love to do. The deep blacks and clean whites of this black and white conversion make it immediately striking to the viewer's eye, and then we are drawn in to examine the details ... the clean lines of the porcelain, the soft gleam of light off the tap, and mostly the glorious ruff of fur on cat's neck and tail, the details of his face, and the groomed fur along its side, spelling out the moments leading up to this cat's deep slumber. Nicely done, and congrats!

Photographers Comment

Hi, My name is Gabriel Pahontu and I am a photographer based in Bucharest, Romania. This is my cat sleeping in one of her favorite places. For this image I used a Sony A7III and a 24 mm f1.4 GM. Thank you very much for the award. It means a lot to me and I am very happy for your appreciation!
