Trifecta

This one, for me, was a three-fer. Good light, a person... and a dead cat for pathos. It was the light I was looking at first, yesterday in the late afternoon was particularly hazy because of the fires by the coast, and it was by chance that I looked down to see the cat. I find shooting people a bit of an intrusion, as I've mentioned earlier, and I had some complicated feelings about even taking aim at the cat. There is another shot without the bicyclist, but when I saw him out of the corner of my eye I knew I want to wait for him. Not only does he add life and motion to the image, but he's looking at the cat, too.
