Large cream crocodile shapes curve across a black sleeveless dress as a couple walks through a tall entrance hall. The most prominent design sweeps down the skirt in a long curling tail, its overlapping pale scales standing out against the smooth dark fabric. A smaller crocodile follows the neckline. The woman carries a small cream bag and wears matching shoes, while her partner has a charcoal coat over a dark suit.

Both are smiling towards each other as they pass the foot of a broad stone staircase. The stair rises between dark timber walls and slender metal railings, with long cylindrical lanterns suspended above it. Amber wall lights soften the panelling, and a vase of autumn branches brings a loose, bright shape to one side of the room.

Through the open doorway, fallen leaves and golden trees frame a wet garden path. The photograph combines an unusual wearable animal motif with the warm materials and generous proportions of an autumn interior.
