EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Michael Kooren, we witness a heartwarming moment between two storks on the rooftop of a house in Wijk Bij Duurstede, central Netherlands. The male stork tenderly feeds his mate as they prepare for the arrival of their young ones during the breeding season. The low angle view allows us to appreciate the intricate details of these majestic birds up close. Against a backdrop of clear blue sky, their black and white feathers stand out beautifully, creating a striking contrast. This creative use of color highlights the beauty found in nature's palette. Set against an open rural landscape, this picture showcases not only the bond between these avian partners but also their instinctual drive to protect and nurture their family. As summer approaches and natural phenomena unfold around them, this couple exemplifies the wonders that can be found in wildlife. With no people present in this picturesque scene, we are reminded of how animals thrive independently within their own habitats. It serves as a reminder to cherish and respect our environment so that such moments can continue to exist for generations to come. This stunning photograph captures both the intimate connection between these storks and the larger beauty inherent in nature itself. It is truly a testament to Michael Kooren's skill as a photographer and his ability to capture fleeting moments that inspire awe and appreciation for our natural world.
