Hmn. I suppose if the challenge had been 'wildlife' I would not have entered this. But 'fauna,' though less commonly used, connotes not only animal as opposed to vegetable but also habitat, and it seems that habitats morph at a rather greater rate than species. As well, this is more interesting than the gulls, pigeons, crows, deer, eagles, oystercatchers and more gulls that I photographed this week, an effort that always garners more respect from me for 'real' wildlife photographers.
Little doggie was inside the store, cars reflected in the window through which I shot. Little doggies have become ubiquitous in these venues is my point. Mostly they are happy, but sometimes I wonder.
The only postprocessing action of interest (to me) is that I ventured into the Gimp and for the first time used the straightening thingee.
Appreciate the comment that this would have done well in the FS, but I strongly doubt it. |

| Oh, that is so cool! I love the way the reflections work. What a shame it didn't do well! |

| Haven't checked in with you lately. I like this a lot. Challenge definition aside, it stands on its own as a really cool street shot. |

| Wonderful mishmash of reflections! The kind of thing I'm always watching for but don't usually find with this much richness. |

| There are so many layers in this, like a closet crammed full floor to ceiling - mercantile habitat indeed! |

| No way would this have done well in the free study! Sorry I didn't vote on Fauna. I couldn't stomach the idea of looking at all those seagulls, pigeons, crows, deer, eagles, etc. Especially eagles. |

| Ha. Thanks, cc. Maybe too obvious a bid for the posthumous, or maybe I shouldn't have straightened it. |

| This should have been an entry in the Free Study - yeah, thers is an animal in it, but it's not a strictly a fauna. It's a terrific composition - very clevel use of reflections and if it had been in Free Study, its a potential winner. In this challenge, not so much. |
