"The ears of Lucky, her chihuahua and miniature pinscher mix, are pictured here, frozen at the sight of a sworn enemy. I have no doubt this cat could take him down! O'Donnell says. We've seen him a few times, monitoring the neighbourhood from this window. The image's slanted sidewalk is very characteristic of hilly San Francisco. I had to back up a bit and crouch down to get the shot, O'Donnell says."
"At first, I wanted to try to get his whole body in, but I decided I liked it better with just the back of his head and distinctive ears. I thought it made both the image and the story stronger. Sometimes less is more. O'Donnell used her phone, along with Lightroom for some very minor edits. I hope the photo makes people smile, she says. It makes me happy that such a random, spontaneous moment turned into a cute photo that tells a little story."
Dorothy O'Donnell begins each day in San Francisco with coffee and a dog walk through North Beach. The neighborhood's diversity, colourful characters, and Victorian architecture provide abundant street photography opportunities. Lucky, her chihuahua–miniature pinscher mix, reacts to a cat seen from a window, producing a spontaneous moment captured on a slanted San Francisco sidewalk. O'Donnell chose a tight crop showing only the back of Lucky's head and distinctive ears to strengthen the image and story. She used a phone and made minor edits in Lightroom. The photo aims to make viewers smile by highlighting a random, charming moment.
