A study in grace, symmetry, and connection, Love of Kite captures a fleeting moment between two Black-shouldered Kites (Elanus axillaris), rendered with ethereal elegance. One bird rests calmly on bare branches while the other hovers effortlessly above frozen mid-flight in a perfectly choreographed arc.
Shot in natural light and refined through selective post-processing, the image embraces a monochrome minimalist aesthetic. Nearly all colour is desaturated except for the birds’ vivid orange eyes and golden feet, which glow against the high-key white background. This deliberate treatment evokes the stylisation of CGI art, creating a clean, surreal atmosphere while preserving the emotional truth of the moment.
The white “void-like” backdrop and diffuse light eliminate environmental distractions, allowing the viewer to focus entirely on the pair’s interaction, which is imbued with symbolism, poise, and harmony. The clarity of feather detail, soft lighting transitions, and stillness of flight lend the piece a near-digital precision without the use of AI.
More than a wildlife portrait, Love of Kite is a pleasing art meditation on rhythm, balance, and natural intimacy, capturing nature in a timeless and modern form
