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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Akhtar Soomro, a pigeon gracefully glides past a motionless clock on the Lakshmi Building in Karachi. The building itself stands as a testament to the British Raj era, exuding an air of historical significance and architectural grandeur. Against the backdrop of a serene blue sky, the low angle view accentuates both the imposing tower and the bird's flight path. The juxtaposition between nature and man-made structures is beautifully portrayed here. As time appears to stand still with the halted clock, life continues its course with this elegant creature soaring through the urban cityscape. The creative use of perspective allows us to appreciate not only the intricate details of both avian and edifice but also their harmonious coexistence within their shared environment. This image serves as a reminder that amidst our busy lives dictated by time, there are moments when we can pause and observe such fleeting scenes of beauty. It invites contemplation on our own place in history and how we navigate through it. With no human presence visible, one can almost feel transported into another dimension where only nature's creations interact with timeless architecture. Akhtar Soomro's skillful composition captures more than just an ordinary scene; it encapsulates emotions evoked by flight, weather conditions, and even nostalgia for days gone by. This photograph encourages viewers to reflect upon their surroundings while appreciating simple yet extraordinary encounters like this graceful pigeon crossing paths with an immobile clock tower in Karachi's ever-evolving landscape.
