Flight of the Fearful Flock - A Painterly Panic in Cheshire!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph by Ben Hall, we witness a mesmerizing moment as a group of Black headed gulls takes flight with an artistic twist. The blurred motion adds a touch of mystery and intrigue to the scene, making it truly unique. Captured in October at a freshwater lake in Cheshire, UK, these birds were highly honored in the Art in Nature category of the prestigious Natures Best Windland Smith Rice International Awards Photography Competition 2013. It's no wonder why! Their synchronized movement and terrified expressions evoke both awe and amusement. As they soar through the air, their white feathers create an ethereal contrast against the backdrop of lush foliage and trees. The arty shots captured here resemble abstract paintings brought to life. The reaction from these five animals is palpable - panic fills their eyes as they take off into unknown territory. One can't help but wonder what caused such fear among this medium-sized flock. This extraordinary photograph showcases not only nature's beauty but also its ability to surprise us with unexpected moments frozen in time. It reminds us that even wildlife experiences emotions like fear and excitement just like humans do. Ben Hall has truly mastered his craft by transforming this ordinary bird sighting into an extraordinary work of art.
