This creation is a unique piece like everything I create and it is a gift idea for those who appreciate birds.
To better enhance it, I did a search on the Web a solution likely to agree; you can discover my choice on the first image that appears.
๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ก ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐:
Nature wooden frame - color: walnut
with Backing Boards for photo ย A4 ย mat: 8.26 x 11.69 inches (21 x 29.7 cm)
I introduced the digital montage inside to give you an idea of โโthe rendering.
Of course this is only a suggestion, because you have to take into account your existing decoration, the framing colors that suit you, their material, their shape and the budget you want to devote to it.
In short, the choice is yours, you have to take this suggestion as the beginning of a track to follow.

๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ ย ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
The other reason is that I do not manufacture frames and it's not my job; I would have to charge you fees that are not mine.
However I can give you the links allowing you to find the frame that is part of the suggested presentation.
The goal is to show you that everything can be used as decoration in an entry, a living room, a library, a dining room or a bedroom. It will be a work of art at a reasonable price, which you can offer, offer yourself, whether you are a collector or not.

You see how easy it is to highlight a beautiful photo print if you compare the first 2 views; and yet they are the same images; it's up to you to improve them in your own way.
**************************
๐) ๐๐ซe๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง:
Several neighboring species are threatened with extinction; among them :
- the tern nereis (sterna nereis)
- the diamond tern (sterna sumatrana)
- Roseate Tern (sterna dugalli).
In this photo montage, I especially wanted to highlight the colors of these birds, which, we can see on the stamps are quite similar.
It starts with editing with photo retouching.
Then, this montage will be printed on high quality photo paper (280 g per m2) and immediate drying.
The triptych will be pasted thanks to a protective bag so that it does not risk anything.
The other views represent this one front, back and details of the composition.
All will be put in a plastic bag, then in a rigid cardboard envelope to be sent to you by registered mail with delivery against signature.
If you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Philatelic details:
Stamps issued by New Caledonia in 2009
offset edition - multicolored - serrated 13 x 13 1/4
The three stamps are printed standing.
Listed โฌ 6 in the 2010 catalog
Weight of the cardboard envelope: 90 g

a guide to wing and feather language in wingfic
while losing control over his wings/feathers is a very fun trope to put cas in because it serves as a window for less outwardly emotive character, i often see actions that just donโt align with how birds emote. itโs fiction and do whatever you want! but if you want to make cas more birdlike, read up. hereโs some thoughts on wings, feathers, and emotions, but if you want examples, Cinderwings by @bendingsignpostโ does a phenomenal job of capturing emotions via wings and a lot of the other intricacies in aerial hunts/fights. i could talk ages about how peregrines restrain their dives to drive starling flocks down, but this post is long enough.
i have to preface first that the emotions birds show though their feathers are limited. scientists and responsible animal trainers avoid anthropomorphizing avian behavior, which means the signals that we get from birds donโt mirror to complex emotions like jealousy/bitterness/embarrassment and are more like happy/sad/angry. obviously your characters have a different emotional range and express that physically via their wings. also, iโm basing this mostly off of raptorial body language. some of this is universal and applies to parrots/psittacines as well, but iโm not aware of where those boundaries lie
my biggest pet peeve is when authors write a character unknowingly fluffing or moving their wings. are you aware that youโve moved your arms? do you notice when your hair blows in the wind? birds have excellent control over their feathers. primary wing feathers are rooted in ligaments that birds can control. on the upstroke, feathers rotate slightly to create slots in the wing that allow air to flow through better, then return them to a flattened position to create the most lift on a downstroke. birds likely donโt make that flight feather rotation choice consciously, but theyโre definitely gonna know that theyโre moving their wings.
negative emotionsโangered, alarmed, threatened
as it relates to emotion, wings flare when surprised or threatened and raise up when alarmed. wing feathers may spread slightly in those positions, but for the most part the wings flare, not feathers. feather control is mostly about rotation and different degrees of moving in/out, which is more subconscious
consider raised wings in a threat position: you might describe feathers as splayed out, but once the wings are in full extension, the feathers cannot flare further. if you want to express that, you might use language about the tension in the line of their wings, โstrainโ, or โquiver.โ
feathers on a raptorโs nape or hackles will rise when they feel any of the above emotions. this might translate well into the smaller feathers where the wing joins the back. in birds, those back feathers only rise after theyโve signaled their distress via nape/hackle feathers and itโs been fully escalated to a threat.
mixedโfluffing up: contentment/safety, cold, threatened
birds will fluff their feathers for a mix of positive and negative reasons. the differences are distinguished by other factors
the whole fluffing up when embarrassed that i see in wingfic probably comes from people seeing a bird rouse out of context, which is when a bird lifts feathers across their whole body and shakes them out. it looks a little like how we hunch our shoulders in embarrassment sinceย in the process, birds will beat their wings against their bodies while theyโre still folded.ย however, rousing is a sign of contentment and safety (they feel safe enough to make the noise associated with rousing)โNOT the discomfort that comes with embarrassment.
birds will also fluff up when theyโre cold in order to trap warm air in their feathers. flight feathers arenโt usually involved in this since thereโs no down there, but coverts on the wing may rise. this is represented pretty well in fic.
birds threatened or threatening others will puff up their feathers to make themselves look bigger. youโll get other cues though, and fluffing isnโt a surefire lead in to a threat display so youโll want to look for wing flaring.
positive emotionsโcontentment/safety, preening
birds will stretch their wings when theyโre content and feeling safe! but they donโt really open them like in flight. stretching on birds looks like them pointing the wing downwards rather than parallel with the ground. their shoulders will drop with the outstretched wing as well, so they look like theyโre about to tip over.ย
rousing is another indicator of positive emotions (covered above). theres a couple of other indicators of happiness but theyโre not really wing/feather motions
ah. the holy grail and source of so many rated E fics. birds preen when theyโre feeling safe and comfortable. they have to contort themselves, and arenโt able to keep as vigilant of a look out when they have their head dipped under their wings. allopreening is when one bird preens another, and is most often exhibited in flocking birds. itโs very uncommon for mates of solitary birds to allopreen. this is an opportunity to work something avian into your characterโs culture. however, the feathers of birds without partners are just as well kept as birds with partners.
not gonna go too far into this one. sex up your oil (uropygial) glands as much as you want on your characters but the oil secreted is more waxy than you think. that shit is not olive oil. it is a wax

Again, this is a nice presentation:
I concocted a montage with albatrosses in almost all postures, with a blue sky that reminds of a painting.
I have provided a CUSTOM location for this block of 4 stamps which represents the Amsterdam albatross in scenes of life.
This stamp block is new, without hinge, format 190 x 80 and Serrated.
It is a unique photo montage designed by computer on which I fixed the block of stamps of the TAAF of 2010.
The final version appears in the first view, it is the item for sale, with a framing proposal in the background.
The following views show mounting details and the front and back block.Finally the last one reveals the choice of JFB if โโyou want to put this creation under frame.
