Great Hornbill Above Glacial Stream

by Mei Nichols

Deep shadow swallows the forest floor while a sharp rim of pale dawn light outlines the silhouette of a great hornbill perched on a moss-slicked branch. The bird's massive yellow casque stands out against the dark plumage, catching the first hints of morning. Rain-saturated leaves whip violently in the wind, blurring the background of the glacial stream below. Water rushes over smooth gray stones, creating a frothy white line that contrasts with the stillness of the bird's gaze. A thick vine hangs down in the foreground, framing the subject and adding depth to the composition. Droplets rest on the feathers, heavy and distinct, showing the wet, rainy season air. at the edge is a single drop sliding from a leaf tip onto the dark bark below.
