Egrets, Storm Clouds And Environmental Issues

An egret with a crushed aluminum can bale visible through it's body, flies through high altitude storm clouds in an image about environmental issues and ecological challenges. The message is subtle but powerful, that such a magnificent bird is facing a challenge to its existence from pollution, and by implication nature itself is under threat from man's lack of ecological responsibility. This image, crafted for licensing as a stock image, can be easily cropped to vertical, square, or horizontal formats with an abundant amount of copy space for headlines and body copy. 

This is an image about conservation, the way forward and the future, whether that future holds promise or peril.

Photos With Environmental Issues

This environmental issue image is unique in that at first glance is a beautiful image of a high flying egret surrounded by dramatic storm clouds, but upon closer inspection reveals an inner landscape of refuse and garbage. Because that refuse consists of crushed cans ready for recycling the image can also be a positive one, a metaphor for supporting wild life by responsible recycling and disposal of material goods.

By having the bird surrounded by storm clouds the concepts illustrated can include change, approaching danger, or even improving conditions. Certainly the idea that we are currently in a time of turmoil and risk can be clearly portrayed.
