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.
