Three Distinct Border Collies—a

Observed from a top-down flat lay shot with directly overhead lighting, three distinct border collies—a black and white with a keen gaze, a blue merle distinguished by its alert stance and striking one blue and one brown eye, and a medium-haired red and white in a crouching posture—are scattered in an informal, asymmetrical balance across rugged cliffs that bear the harsh imprint of a dystopian urban environment, while below, waves crash violently, the entire tableau awash in cool, soft diffused ambient light subtly shaped by three-quarter illumination.
