This is Chania sitting on the circular staircase that leads to our bedroom; she was being chased by Mitzi, but Mitzi is afraid of the open risers and Chania knows that, so she escapes here while Mitzi sits just below and glowers.
This image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my post for 1 January and in my profile.
What a smart kitty cat, that's what I love so much about them. Love hearing the name of your dog cause I had a black cockapoo Mitzie growing up. Your photo looks great and I love the shadow reflection on the wall, great lighting too.
@juleshoogstraanderson Thank you. Our previous and much loved rescue dog Princesse was also a black cockapoo except that as her father was the cocker spaniel and her mother the poodle - we always thought of her as a Spoodle!
@gamelee You make a good point Lee and it's one of the reasons that I persevere with this project. I looked at this before posting and thought, "No, it's too dull.". But then I said to my myself, "Get objective, the histogram is telling you that this is just right.". So, Mr Fuji has the last word again...
@tunia When she first settled there she did a bit of reassurance grooming and then sat like this... I think she's saying, "Dog? There's a dog? Well where, for goodness sake?"
@aglennc Thanks Anita - what you're missing is in the last line of my commentary: "This image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my post for 1 January and in my profile."
Ok, I am a cat person, and I am biased towards cat pictures, but ..... this one has such a great expression: not only in the face, but in the whole posture that tell you "I know you are there. I am completely aware of you although I am not moving a muscle". Beautiful study of cat personality.
Ah, OK that makes sense. Sounds like something I should do, since I rarely change from mmy 18mm to 270m lens...... Sounds like you and your wife have had your problems, and you lost your little dog..... Too much! We understand the losing of a special pet. Been there so many times with the beloved dogs we've had in our lives. Anyway, thanks for the explanation.... I just might try it one of these days. Do a month of it, maybe, at least.
