FIRST PLACE WINNER
CIT_4_PITTS'S Ambassador Rat Goudie's Image. There is so much in this image, that caught my eye. His face is in perfect congruence to the heart shaped frame.
The outlines of the ears are symmetrical to the upper shape of frame, the little paw that delicately touches the lower part of frame,
the expressive eyes and nose and the whisker's attempting to fill the negative space. It's a perfect tribute to the little fella who lives on in the "heart".
Congratulations and many thanks for sharing his image here.
