I have come back to this shot over and over, it is absolutely absorbing. You have caught a mystical mood and a beautiful wooded seaside spot. Dog holds my attention and adds to my curiosity. This is striking and a very close contender. Well done.

We love this unusual composition of a nature labyrinth and man’s best friend taking a central position in the frame of vertical. There is something really grand about this composition that is a confusion of things, yet so simple and well-composed. Very well done, and congratulations to the winner!

Thank you so much. It is truly a great honor for me, I'm deeply shocked and grateful. I'm Alicja Zmysłowska, dog photographer from Poland. I took this picture at beautiful polish seaside during holidays. This part of my country is very magical and I love taking pictures there. For this shot I used Canon 1DX with my favorite 35mm 1.4 lens.

this fabulous and mysterious image was an instant favorite. great post work and black-and-white conversion to increase the sense of intrigue. wonderfully managed conversion, with deep shadows and punches of highlight where needed, and the bold contrast adds to the drama. brilliantly done. congrats! ~ illona

Thank you for recognizing my work and rewarding me with the First Prize. I'm extremely grateful. My name is Alicja Zmysłowska and I'm a dog photographer from Poland. I took this picture this year, during my summer holidays at the beautiful polish seaside. This place captured my attention right away... I used Canon EOS-1D X and 35mm lens. In post-process I converted it to black&white, then added more contrast and clarity.
