    Title: Fighter, the Barnevelder cockerel
    Description: I took this photo of Fighter while I was wandering around the chicken pen. We hatched him last year and he was the first one to hatch out of the egg in the incubator. I've named him Fighter because he fights to protect his hens in the coop and stops the crows and magpies stealing the eggs!

    Title: Radiant Ralph
    Description: This photo was taken as part of a series of studio images showcasing how dogs all have different quirks and traits that make them unique. While shooting, Ralph the lively cocker spaniel had a great time running around the studio, chasing bubbles, getting treats and playing with his ball. In a rare few minutes of calm, I captured him soaking up the light and showing off his posing skills.

    Title: What's up there?
    Description: I took this photo when my cat caught my attention - she was trying to catch a fly above her head. I found this amusing so quickly got my camera. This was my favourite as it shows my cat's personality and has been taken from a perspective different from the front of her face. I love this photo as it shows her playfulness as well as her concentration to catch the fly.
