{"product_id":"northern-gannet-in-flight","title":"Seabird in Flight Against Pale Sky Black and White Wildlife Photography","description":"\u003ch2\u003eUneven Wing Shapes And Lowered Feet Beneath Distant Birds\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne seabird stands out sharply against the pale background, with one wing raised and the other angled downward. Its body faces right, its feet hang below, and its tail feathers spread to the left. I photographed this flight moment in 2015. The bird occupies the lower half of the square frame, leaving a generous area of open space above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeveral more distant birds appear as soft shapes in that upper area. Their lack of detail gives the nearer bird a stronger presence and introduces depth without making the background busy. I like how the photograph combines a clear individual form with those less distinct signs of other birds in the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe raised wing curves upward with separate feathers visible along its edge. On the opposite side, darker feather lines extend down beneath the body. The head and bill create a horizontal direction that contrasts with those wing shapes, while the lowered legs add a smaller pair of angles. The pose is irregular, but all its parts remain readable against the soft grey setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack and white lets those shapes carry the photograph. Fine changes in tone show the pale body and folded layers of feathers, while the open background keeps attention on the bird. The image offers a close view of flight with a restrained, almost minimal surrounding space. It would appeal to someone who enjoys seabird photography or wildlife images where posture and composition are as engaging as the subject itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2015\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"10 × 10 inches (25.4 × 25.4 cm)","offer_id":40739640049743,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 12 inches (30.5 × 30.5 cm)","offer_id":40739640082511,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 × 14 inches (35.6 × 35.6 cm)","offer_id":40739640180815,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 16 inches (40.6 × 40.6 cm)","offer_id":40739640115279,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 18 inches (45.7 × 45.7 cm)","offer_id":67602045173839,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 20 inches (50.8 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":40739640148047,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 × 28 inches (71.1 × 71.1 cm)","offer_id":41185218953295,"sku":"","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/Seabird-in-Flight-Against-Pale-Sky-Black-and-White-Wildlife-Photography-1.jpg?v=1792233440","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/northern-gannet-in-flight","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
