About the artwork

Ornate bird, the Crane, with explosive red and yellow crown feathers and a slender, dark head and legs, photographed against a deep black, minimalist background - dramatic, graphic bird portrait.

"The Crown of Fire Feathers" is a dramatic fine art photographic work that combines the graceful pose of an exotic bird with a graphic, dark background. The composition puts the eye on the lush crown feathers - intense shades of red and yellow that contrast with a glossy, almost black background and the subtle ground plane under the legs.

This photo print highlights texture, light and sculptural form, and works well as a statement in modern interiors.

Atmosphere: ceremonial, elegant and slightly mystical.

Emotion: wonder, admiration and quiet pride; a sense of ritual and beauty.

Colour use: dominant warm red and yellow accents in the crown feathers versus deep black and wood tones; high contrast, subtle highlights and soft shading on the torso and legs.

Instantly eye-catching: vibrant crown feathers attract attention and add character to any wall.
Strong graphic composition: outstandingly visible in large format or as a central piece in a gallery wall.
Timeless elegance: natural shapes with a ceremonial allure suit many interior styles.
Contrasting but refined: works well against both light and dark walls.
