Week 11's challenge is simply labeled "framed." I would be remiss if I didn't include this image as part of my blog post. This is Maya, a shelter dog that has since been adopted. This shot was taken at my very first shelter shoot. I had the idea to buy a frame, attach a festive Fall-type bow and have a handler take the dog to stand at the back side of the frame. Sounds easy, doesn't it?
What I didn't realize was that probably the last thing a shelter dog wants to do once taken out of its kennel to go for a walk or exercise, is stand. Twenty-seven shots later I got this shot of Maya, who stared at me for one brief instance through the frame when I called her name. The other 26 shots show her looking over her shoulder, leaping to the top of the fence where the frame was attached, sniffing that pile of rocks behind her, etc.
Thankfully, I have become much more shelter savvy.
Below is another look at "framed." It's a small boy taking a pony ride this past weekend. He is framed by the lovely trees, his parents, and the pony handler as he enjoys the trip around on a beautiful day.
