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.

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.

Feathered Feuds - Sand Martins Spar for the Perfect Nest-Hole in Siberian Sands!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Andrey Zvoznikov, we witness a fierce quarrel erupting among a colony of Sand Martins in the heart of Siberia's Uganskii Nat. reserve. These tiny birds are not ones to shy away from a heated dispute when it comes to securing their dream nest-holes! Perched on the sandy walls of a ravine near the majestic river Bolshoi Ugan, these feathery friends engage in an epic battle for prime real estate. With limited space available, tensions run high as each martin vies for its own cozy abode. The photo perfectly captures the chaos and commotion that ensues when bird communities clash over nesting grounds. It's like watching a high-stakes game show where only the most determined and agile contestants can claim victory! As they flutter around with wings flapping furiously, these martins showcase their acrobatic skills while maneuvering through narrow holes carved into cliffs along the riverbank. Their synchronized aerial ballet is nothing short of awe-inspiring. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst nature's serene beauty, competition exists at every level – even among our avian counterparts! So next time you spot these sand-dwelling daredevils during your travels, remember that behind those cute faces lies an intense rivalry for their perfect little homes!
