For the longest time, I have tried to avoid photographing birds on man-made structures. I am a purist when it comes to the natural world; I like to present it in a way that shows it removed from the impacts of humankind.
As time progresses, it's very hard to find many places where humanity's dominance over the planet is not apparent. That's why I feel it's more important for photographers to present a view of the world without humans.
Even so, I thought I would post this photo. I liked the leading line created by the fence railing. It leads your eye into the photo and right to the bird.
This shot was taken at the beautiful Ebor Falls in NSW. It wasn't a very nice day; there was thick cloud cover, and it threatened to rain every moment. Even so, I managed to get some good shots.
What is your view on the state of the natural world? Do you believe we will learn to live in harmony with the natural world? Comment below.
