The Stare Down Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is about the dominance of the garbage site between the cat and cockerel. It's a stare down as far as the cat is concern and the cockerel is giving it an eye just to be sure it does not make any sudden move. It shows from the body language of the cockerel, head down and the act of picking food off the road. This is a sign of aggression. It's a stand off....no you don't! don't you dare! don't even think about it..I mean it don't you think of striking..that is what is going on here. Even animals need their space just like us humans.

HI Mushan,

Hi Mustapha,
The cockerel and the cat or others animals are lack of place and food in town, not like the habitats at suburban...I hate the rubbish every where.

Hi Mustapha,
Well seen intense moment. Life can be hard on such places. Good framing with the animals on their own corners like boxers.

A lovely capture, Mustapha with very expressive subjects! And the note complements the picture nicely too. My compliments!

Best,

PS. You have a really nice gallery here, Mustapha. I will revisit.
