Poodle Portrait in Jinja Courtyard Midday Light

A standard poodle stands squarely beside a weathered, pale courtyard wall in Jinja, its dense, tightly curled coat catching the broad diffused light of midday. The animal's muzzle shape is distinct and clean, framed by ears set low and folded neatly against the head. Sunlight softens the edges of the fur, creating a luminous texture that reveals the individual curl patterns without harsh shadows. The background remains a flat, unadorned surface of aged stucco, showing the subject's attentive stillness. Small patches of worn paint and subtle discoloration on the wall suggest years of exposure to the clear sky above. The dog's dark eyes reflect the open daylight, anchoring the composition in a moment of quiet observation. One loose curl rests near the shoulder, catching the light before fading into the shadow of the wall.
