This amazing photograph has just won Daniel Beltra the WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR AWARD showcasing from this friday at The Natural History Museum here in London. Have a beautiful picture from this exhibition a few years ago which still graces my wall today and think this one here is just as fascinating... unfortunately for much sadder reasons and terrible circumstances, as it captures pelicans caught up in the gulf oil spill of last year. The title 'Still Life in Oil' is a wonderfully clever play on conventional composition titles, as what one would expect as meaning the medium- the oil part is instead indicating the bird's plight. Yet almost resembling an oil painting at the same time with the amazing colours, textures and fine details. Stunning and sad...
Well done that D-B!
