Captive Sadness

-

What a sad expression. DDD

Maybe a B&W conversion would work too?

nice caption ... very nice capture too ...

Wonderful shot, I love the expression, this could go on the front of a get well soon card:) Nice tones and composition!

What hurt and desolation you have conveyed here, the blood and scars really top it off. In addition the clarity, definition,diagonal line and framing all help to concentrate in on the animal. It really has a strong story - and being an exotic animal makes it all the better. Only the time of day could be chosen better to bring out the texture and reduce some harshness.
