About the artwork
This photo captures a ruddy tiger bittern in full hunting mode among the dense foliage of aquatic plants in the Pantanal. The bird, with its reddish-brown plumage and yellow eyes, has its neck outstretched and beak aimed at prey in the shallow water. But look closely: on the tip of its beak is a tiny stinging fly, an unexpected guest that briefly steals the show. The green leaves and ripples in the water form a vivid background. The photo was taken in the wetlands of Mato Grosso, Brazil.
During a boat trip in the Pantanal, I saw this tiger bittern hunting and noticed that fly on its beak - a perfect example of how nature is full of surprises and if you look a little further you will see even more.
The photo exudes intense focus and humorous chaos: the bird is a hunter, but also a victim of a small intruder. It feels wild, vivid and a touch ironic, like a snapshot from real jungle life.
I used a telephoto lens with fast shutter speed to freeze the movement in the water and keep the fly in focus, while giving the background a soft bokeh. Natural light from the late afternoon accentuates the textures of feathers and leaves.
This work adds a playful wildlife story to a space, perfect for a living room or office. The warm brown-green tones suit tropical or adventurous interiors, and it invites smiles and a story on the wall.

Rotterdam by Night - Erasmus Bridge and skylineIn this photo, you can see the Erasmus Bridge in all its glory, tightly lit against Rotterdam's skyline. The lights of the city reflect on the water of the river Maas, giving the picture a lively look. To the left you see the modern high-rise buildings, to the right the striking De Rotterdam building. Everything together forms a recognisable and powerful cityscape.Glenn Vlekke
