Two swans preening, but in black and white more – to me, anyway – a collection of patterns, tones, forms and textures. I particularly like the birds’ big, heavy, contorted and almost obtrusive shapes, which rather tight, claustrophobic framing may help to emphasise.

About Adrian Lewis
I agree, the tight framing makes them look even more – well, almost wadded up in their contortions. 😉 Interesting!

Engrossing. Almost like a photograph of abstract sculptures.

Yes, sculptures, that’s the sort of impression I was hoping to convey, looking at the two of them as objects, rather than this being a portrait of two living things.
