This photo shows a beautiful, proud rooster posing among delicate purple flowers, against a background of rocks and the hazy flowing waters of a stream. The rooster, with its glossy orange-brown plumage and striking red comb and wattles, stands stately, its black tail feathers gleaming in the light. The small, lilac flowers create a soft and colourful foreground, while the deep green foliage and rough texture of the rocks complete the scene. It is a moment of pure, unadulterated natural beauty.
My inspiration for this work came from the vibrancy and character of farm animals in their natural environment. I wanted to capture the pride and colourfulness of this rooster, and emphasise the harmony between the animal and the surrounding flora. The light fell just right and the rooster struck the perfect pose, allowing me to create this image that exudes the vitality of the countryside.
The mood I am trying to set with this image is one of vibrancy, vitality and a touch of rural idyll. It feels fresh and pure, bringing the charm of the outdoors into your home. For me, this rooster symbolises the awakening of the day, the energy of nature and the beauty in the small details of rural life.
