EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the graceful Northern gannet in flight, as it prepares for a seamless landing. The image captures the sheer elegance and power of this magnificent seabird, known scientifically as Morus bassanus or Sula bassana. It is fascinating to note that these birds only established their first breeding pair on Helgoland Island in Germany as recently as 1991. The composition of the photograph perfectly emphasizes the bird's full-length wingspan against a clear sky backdrop, with no human presence to distract from its natural beauty. The horizon over the water adds depth and tranquility to the scene, highlighting the gannet's remarkable ability to navigate between two worlds effortlessly. With wings spread wide and gliding gracefully through the air, this solitary creature appears both majestic and vulnerable simultaneously. Its body language suggests an imminent touchdown on land or sea, showcasing its exceptional flying skills honed over centuries of evolution. Frans Sellies' photography expertly captures every detail of this North Sea inhabitant - from its distinct body parts to its characteristic white plumage contrasting against a vivid blue sky. This stunning portrayal not only celebrates nature's wonders but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these precious animal species for future generations.
