{"product_id":"headshot-of-flamingo","title":"Flamingo Profile With Curved Neck Black and White Photography Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis square black and white flamingo print brings an elegant bird profile to your wall. A clear eye and sharply defined bill contrast with soft feathers, a curved neck and a quiet gray background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flamingo’s curved neck leads to a clear round eye and a sharply defined bill in this black and white portrait. I photographed the bird in 2012, keeping the view close enough for the head and upper neck to fill the square frame. The background remains soft, giving the profile a clean outline without removing the subtle tones within the feathers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat first drew me in was the form. The long neck bends towards the head, then the bill turns downward in a much stronger curve. Its dark tip gives the pale portrait a concentrated point of contrast. Fine ridges along the bill’s edge become visible with close attention, while the eye supplies a small circular shape within all those longer lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMonochrome changes the pace of looking at a familiar bird. Instead of finding the flamingo through its colour, I follow the variations in feather texture and light. The crown appears slightly smoother than the neck, where small overlapping feathers create a more repeated pattern. Gentle shadows under the head keep the shape rounded rather than flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI made the portrait during a pause in the bird’s movement, watching until its profile became clear. That moment gave me the balanced arrangement I wanted: a strong bill, an open curve beneath the head and a quiet background around them. For someone drawn to elegant bird portraits, this photograph offers a restrained flamingo study whose interest grows through its fine surface detail and distinctive proportions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2012\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"10 × 10 inches (25.4 × 25.4 cm)","offer_id":40677257347151,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 12 inches (30.5 × 30.5 cm)","offer_id":40677257379919,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 × 14 inches (35.6 × 35.6 cm)","offer_id":40677257478223,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 16 inches (40.6 × 40.6 cm)","offer_id":40677257412687,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 18 inches (45.7 × 45.7 cm)","offer_id":67602039865423,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 20 inches (50.8 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":40677257445455,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 × 28 inches (71.1 × 71.1 cm)","offer_id":41185215348815,"sku":"","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/Flamingo-Profile-With-a-Curved-Neck-Monochrome-Photograph-1.jpg?v=1791758049","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/headshot-of-flamingo","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
