Cian Smith, Between the Tides (OCEAN - Entries close 30 Nov 2026)

Three dark seabirds gather on a sunlit rocky outcrop beside the ocean, with one spreading its wings to dry in the coastal breeze. The deep blue water contrasts with the warm, rugged rocks, capturing a quiet moment of life along the shoreline. The meeting of land and sea creates a natural pattern of colour, texture and movement, showing the beauty of the ocean beyond its waves.
