Brown Kenya Lake Victoria Ornithology Rowing Boat Hammerkop Scopus Umbretta
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
This print captures the essence of wildlife in Kenya's Lake Victoria. In this stunning image, a Hammerkop (Scopus umbretta) perches gracefully on the side of a rowing boat at Dunga. The brown plumage of the bird stands out against the vibrant blue waters, creating a striking contrast. The Hammerkop, also known as Scopus umbretta, is showcased in all its glory as it sits confidently on the edge of the boat. With its distinctively long bill and unique crest atop its head, this magnificent creature exemplifies ornithological beauty. Nigel Hicks skillfully captures this moment in time, emphasizing every intricate detail of both bird and surroundings. The horizontal composition allows us to appreciate not only the elegant form of the Hammerkop but also provides a glimpse into Lake Victoria's vast expanse. As we admire this photograph, we are transported to an outdoor oasis where nature reigns supreme. There are no people present; instead, our focus is solely on foregrounded wildlife. Nigel Hicks' lens perfectly encapsulates how harmoniously birds like Scopus umbretta coexist with their environment. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) serves as a reminder that there is immense beauty waiting to be discovered within our natural world – even in unexpected places such as Dunga's rowing boats along Lake Victoria's shores.
