23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

Quack-tastic Catch! Hardhead Duck Shows Off Its Fishing Skills in Central Australia
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this incredible snapshot captured by Steffen & Alexandra Sailer, we witness a male Hardhead duck enjoying a scrumptious meal at the Ellery Creek Big Hole in West MacDonnell National Park. Known for its rarity and resilience, this white-eyed duck thrives on one of the few permanent waterholes amidst the arid landscapes of central Australia. With water being scarce in this region, these precious oases become havens not only for ducks like our protagonist but also for an array of unexpected waterfowl species. Against all odds, nature finds a way to flourish! Our feathered friend gracefully glides through the crystal-clear waters, showcasing his hunting prowess. With razor-sharp focus and lightning-fast reflexes, he snatches up a little fish that had no idea it was about to become lunch. Talk about being at the right place at the right time! As he prepares to savor his well-deserved feast, you can almost hear him exclaiming "Bon appétit!". The vibrant colors of his plumage reflect both his excitement and satisfaction as he relishes every bite. This awe-inspiring photograph reminds us that even in harsh environments where resources are limited, life persists with astonishing adaptability. So next time you find yourself facing challenges or feeling parched for inspiration - remember our resilient Hardhead duck and dive into your goals with determination!
