The Magical Bond Digital Fine Art Photography by Mary Lou Chmura
While photographing this mother, giraffe bonding with her newborn calf. I found myself emotionally and mentally recalling feelings that I had experienced in the past while bonding with my newborn babies.
My vision behind this digital fine art composition was to bring to light the heartwarming love and affectionate gestures displayed between this mother giraffe and her newborn calf.
I like many other mothers that have experienced the bonding process; know first hand that there is something so magically alluring within this process.
The loving, affectionate gestures displayed in this photograph speak to the emotional feelings felt. However, I wanted to create an overall sense of the stillness, the beauty, the peace and most of all the magical sense that accompanies the bonding process.
Thus, the creation of my digital fine art composition, "The Magical Bond," was born.

I’m revisiting — but I think I’m seeing this differently than before, a level deeper. The giraffes caught my eye {love them} , the waterfalls, too {love them} — this time, the clarity of the image penetrated more deeply. And that, I think, is what it’s meant to do. Which means, Mary Lou, you are brilliant! Your artistry is sensitive, thoughtful & profound, & definitely worth paying attention to. Thank you for being the wonderful person that you are & gifting us with your exquisite artistry ;)
