Description Wary....

This is Chance. Born exceptionally sensitive and timid, he was separated from his owner and found much later, coated in mud, starving, lost and alone. Life is composed of a variety of terrors for Chance. Constantly on guard, he lurks in corners, always ready to retreat to a new safe spot. Spots are never safe for long, though....

Worming across my friend M's kitchen floor on my belly, I struggled to capture Chance. Lurking behind the hearth, I stole his secret expressions with my camera. It wasn't easy. I have many photos of tails and blurred fur. And a few treasured glimpses into his soul....

I'm so glad you liked it. I've been kind of out of it for awhile. It was nice to log onto dA and see a comment from you.

Beautiful capture of the nervous and wary Chance. I love the colors and detail...but the pose itself is the winner in this picture.

Thank you!!! I tried this one in BW, but I just liked that orange/yellow diagonal too much. I think the bright colors are kind of jarring, which is what I wanted, and why I chose a contrasting frame instead of a harmonious one.

(*I'm a bit proud of this one because I managed to frame it like this in the camera -- no cropping...*)

Glad you like it.

Ah, you have reminded me that I had been wondering if this would look good in sepia or bw. Another new thing to learn how to do.
