To gain inspiration for the 'Red for Heart' competition, I had a look on the British Heart Foundation website and found the winning photos from last year's competition.

| “The idea of the image was to set the strength of the colour red against a muted minimal backdrop to draw on themes of tranquillity and solitude. This in turn is linked metaphorically to feelings of isolation when battling personal health issues; the isolation is represented by the swimmer, though the beauty of life is still present.” David Jenkins. Winner of the Adult Category, 'The Swimmer' I really like this image as it's imaginative and different because it shows the vulnerable side when battling health issues, rather than interpreting 'red for heart' as always warming and happy. I like that it's not too eerie and does have a peaceful feel to it. |

| “I like to believe it's the 'small' things in life that enrich your heart and senses: a coat of nail varnish to make you feel a little bit more pretty; a heart-to-heart over a cup of tea with a good friend; or a delicious, juicy strawberry. Every day, these simple kind of pleasures capture my heart and make life worth living." Ottilie Simpson. Runner up of the Student Category, 'Heart-to-heart Over a Cuppa' I like this image because it's simple and instantly warming and inviting, and the composition is very straight forward but it's effective because it's not overly fussy. |
