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.

Feathers Fly and Tempers Soar - The Epic Battle of Ruff Males at Finland's Lek
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Loic Poidevin, the avian world becomes a battleground as Ruff males engage in an intense display of courtship rivalry. These feisty Philomachus pugnax are not afraid to let their feathers fly, quite literally! Against the picturesque backdrop of Northern Europe, these sandpipers take center stage with their mid-air acrobatics and flamboyant plumage. With beaks pointed skyward and wings outstretched, they showcase their impressive repertoire of mating behavior. The atmosphere crackles with anticipation as three male rivals lock eyes in a fierce competition for dominance. Each bird is determined to outshine the others through elaborate displays that border on aggression. It's a high-stakes game where only the most audacious will win over potential mates. As spectators watch from afar, it's hard not to marvel at nature's grand spectacle unfolding before them. The energy is palpable as these dapper gentlemen strut their stuff on the lekking grounds – an arena where love and war collide. So next time you find yourself yearning for some avian drama or seeking inspiration from nature's fiercest competitors, look no further than this stunning photograph by Loic Poidevin. It serves as a reminder that even in the animal kingdom, courtship can be both beautiful and brutal!
