Your footage at the theme of ‘monochrome’ — Sally Esau: “This house caught my eye whilst on holiday in Rhodes [Greece]. The gate was open and I could see there was washing hanging on the line and I also noticed the pretty pebbled mosaic pathway. Just as I got my camera ready to take a photo, a black cat strolled across the wall and I managed to capture it in the perfect position. I think the dark gates and the cat add a nice contrast to the image, especially with the monochrome effect.”
