Beauty & The Beast
A bird seemed to have made his home inside this shed down on the wharfs in Fremantle, Western Australia. He kept flying in and out for some time. The huge industrial machinery in the background really caught my eye as did the contrast between nature and technology.

Great work Trish, such a huge contrast between this tiny animal and the monstrosity of the wharf shed. For once, it seems like technology has won out! Excellent tones through this one, great vignetting too, really enhances the whole image!

Vicki Ferrari
Great shot Trish! Love the finish too! That bird just sitting there, looks like he is saying to you ‘what are you doing invading my home with your camera?’ :))
Trish Woodford replied
I watched him for a while and he was flying out and in, so I figured he had to be nesting in there, I loved the contrast with the huge machinery wheel. I think it needed the textures to give it that real industrial feel. Thanks Vicki, always look forward to your comments :)
