Winning Photo

i'm not sure if this image has received some kind of a 'painting' treatment, or if it's just the way it has been processed. I would love to see it a little cleaner/sharper, but setting this aside, the play of light and shadows in this image is magical. with so many splashes of light, the viewer's eye moves freely around the image, from texture to texture, but always ending up on the adorable terrier on the bed. nicely done. ~ illona

Thank you very much for this honor and congratulations to all the winners here. You are correct, I did add a painterly effect to this image but I masked out my dog. This was a quick grab shot. Ozzie, my Russell Terrier, was mesmerized by anything that was moving outside. I shot this with my iPhone 6 and converted to B&W via Silver efxPro. I am Claudia Robinson in Charleston, South Carolina.
