Captured from a low vantage point, "Ascendant Bond" depicts a captivating scene. The camera points skyward, revealing an eagle hunter astride his horse. With his eagle outstretched, a powerful connection between man and bird is palpable. The wind tousles the horse's mane, hinting at the rugged terrain.
