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.

Feathered Showdown - Black-faced Spoonbill vs. Grey Heron in the Battle for Fish Supremacy!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by FLPA/John Holmes, we witness a thrilling encounter between two majestic avian predators along the coastal wetlands of Hong Kong, China. The elegant Black-faced Spoonbill flaunts its striking plumage as it proudly clutches a delectable fish in its distinctive spoon-shaped beak. However, looming ominously behind is the formidable Grey Heron, eyeing the spoils and ready to pounce on any opportunity. As tensions rise and feathers ruffle, it's a classic case of "fish or be fished!". Will our daring spoonbill manage to enjoy its hard-earned meal undisturbed? Or will the heron's relentless pursuit prove too much to handle? This extraordinary photograph not only showcases nature's breathtaking beauty but also highlights the intricate dynamics of survival in the animal kingdom. With their habitats under threat and both species classified as endangered, this image serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance that exists within our precious ecosystems. So grab some popcorn (or perhaps some fish) and prepare yourself for an adrenaline-fueled spectacle! Who needs action movies when you have real-life drama unfolding right before your eyes? Stay tuned to witness how this exhilarating chase unfolds amidst muddy marshes and treacherous estuaries – where every move could mean life or death for these incredible birds!
