A ginger-and-white cat sleeps sprawled across a deep purple quilt, stretched out with oversized front paws reaching toward the camera. The cat's eyes are closed in a relaxed expression, whiskers fanned gently across its face. Behind it is a warm, colourful room with terracotta-red walls, decorative mirrors, candles, hanging clothes, and a bicycle wheel visible in soft focus. The shallow depth of field keeps the sleeping cat sharply in focus while the eclectic background blurs into rich colours and shapes.
The Major Oak, an ancient oak tree in Sherwood Forest, stands supported by a network of green metal props beneath its massive spreading branches. Its thick, hollow trunk is deeply furrowed and weathered with age, while a broad canopy of green and autumn-tinted leaves fills most of the frame. Sunlight filters through the branches, and woodland trees can be seen in the background. The extensive support structure highlights the tree's great age and historical significance.
