Dasun Nirmala Malaarachchi, Whispers of Dawn: Bowerbirds in the Rain (ANIMAL & NATURE 2024)

This series captures the enchanting beauty of bowerbirds in their natural habitat at Lamington National Park, Queensland, Australia, on a misty, early rainy morning. One image showcases both the vibrant male, with his striking plumage, and the subtler-toned female amidst the shadows of the rainforest. The remaining three photographs highlight the male bowerbird alone, each frame emphasizing his vivid colors against the moody, low-light backdrop, revealing the quiet allure and mystery of these remarkable birds.
