With its bright colours and sharp gaze, the kingfisher is one of the most enchanting birds in the Netherlands. In this shot, it rests for a moment, high on a branch above the water. The background is soft and even, showing off the blue-green feathers and orange breast beautifully. The image exudes calm and concentration - a moment of stillness in nature rarely captured so close.
The picture is built in simplicity: no distractions, just the bird, the wood and the sky. That minimalist composition enhances the sense of calm and balance, and allows the viewer to dwell on the beauty of details - the sheen of the feathers, the texture of the branch, the sharp line of the beak.
This work fits perfectly into interiors that want to exude calm, nature and focus. A timeless representation of Dutch nature at its most refined moment - quiet, clear and full of colour.
