EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by David Fleetham showcases the majestic dorsal fin of a Blacktip reef shark as it breaks the surface off the island of Yap in Micronesia. The image perfectly captures the raw power and beauty of this large predator, known for its menacing presence in the ocean. The clear split horizon allows us to appreciate both above and below water, with sunlight illuminating the scene. Whether it's sunset or sunrise, dawn or dusk, there is a tranquil glow that envelops this breathtaking moment. The close-up detail reveals intricate patterns on the shark's skin, while also highlighting its cartilaginous structure. The sunburst adds warmth and radiance to an already mesmerizing composition. As we observe this blacktip shark swimming near the surface, we can't help but feel a mix of awe and trepidation. Its powerful fins propel it effortlessly through clear waters, creating ripples that add movement to an otherwise serene seascape. In this portrait-like shot, we catch a glimpse of the shark looking away into the vast expanse of blue sky and cloud-dotted horizon. It reminds us of nature's wild beauty and our place within it. David Fleetham's skillful capture not only celebrates marine life but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these incredible creatures who call our oceans home.
