Second winner of the Eye/Ffoton Urban Wales Competition

A very clever photograph from Nick Treharne wins the second ticket for The Eye Festival in The Eye / Ffoton Wales UrbanWales Instagram competition. The juxtaposition of subjects and names together with colour and humour made this the stand out image this month. Well done Nick
