From a sweeping view of the Grand Canyon printed across two pages for a 23 x 11 1/2-inch panorama to a super close-up study of an Argus pheasant's tail feathers or a wave tumbling tiny shells German photographer Mara Fuhrmann gives us extraordinary portraits of earth and water plants and animals. Sandstone walls a slope of winter trees a hedgehog's quills and the veins of a leaf become striking abstract patterns in Fuhrmann's lens while views of California poppies a polar bear family a dramatic Icelandic waterfall and the stares of several owls testify to her lifelong love of wild creatures and places.
