Emotions and Moods but ... No Faces Allowed!

Challenge #3 in the The Art of Contradiction series. Hosted by sagebrushfire.

Challenge has finished

This challenge is about conveying emotion without seeing someone's face. You may crop the face out, obscure it with other objects or photograph the subject from behind. Feel free to include as many subjects as you want and use any kind of subject (animal, human, statue) as long as we can see NO FACES. Lastly, please tell us what emotion/mood/them your picture conveys.

Challenge comments

Either I misspelled theme twice or DPReview just really wants to get rid of that extra "E" at the end. Anyway you all should get the point.

The rules have been extremely simplified so hopefully there's not as much confusion as there was with the Sensuality challenge.
