“Stillness in the Wild”

By: Axel Wick

This photograph captures the calm solitary side of nature, portraying a lone bird swaying on a cattail in a windy wetland. The monochrome palette rids any color distraction, instead shifting the viewer’s attention to focus on texture, and light. This interplay of sharp and soft elements in the photograph mirrors the fragile balance between solitude and connection in the natural world.
