Complex Nature
A Cormorant at Low Barns nature Reserve in County Durham.
So, I don't think this is breaking any rules as much as not really following any. It takes a little while to read I think, and for the eyes to settle down with it, but I think it has a cumulative softness that weirdly comes from the sheer noise and complexity of the parts. As solidity comes from the density of many particles. Either way, it's a bit of an anomaly in my photography so far. A bit different, and certainly not everyone's cup of tea; but I think it has a special hard-to-define quality about it. :-)
It's not wildlife photography. It has a bird in it but it's definitely not a clear subject.
It's not nature photography as such, I don't think it has any specifics or study that is defined enough to say so.
It's not landscape photography; it doesn't give any context to the frame as such to explain location or environment.
I think the pattern, colour, texture and tones are all that are important here actually. I'm not sure it matters much what the materials of their constitution are in this. Perhaps I should have gone into textiles or something... :-)
P.S. If anybody would like to have a go at explaining myself better than I can, please do feel free to chip in down below! :-)
