Winning Photo

As an art piece, but then we realize it is actually a real photograph with a real bird by a tree. The simplicity and tones caught us, more than once.

David Saunders, living in Norway. This shot was taken in South Korea, in Ulsan, on 22nd June 2015. I used a Nikon DF with a 24-70mm lens on, @ 70mm @ about 12 metres. There is a beautiful nature reserve along a river that goes up the middle of Ulsan, where bamboo trees and poppy fields blossom. Beside this river is where the shot was taken. In Lightroom I have cropped the left edge and top away to create a busy overture to a light stillness. And converted to Black and White with Siver efex Pro 2.
