EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Boris HORVAT for Agence France-Presse (AFP), swimmers take on the thrilling challenge of Le Defi Monte-Cristo at the Chateau d If, off the picturesque coast of Marseille in southern France. The image, taken on June 21,2019, showcases a mesmerizing scene where participants dive into crystal-clear blue waters to compete in this exhilarating swimming event. The photograph offers a general view of the competition, with swimmers scattered across the frame. From a low angle perspective, we are given an underwater picture that reveals the sheer determination and skill required to conquer these challenging waters. As they navigate through white water currents and dive beneath the surface, each swimmer becomes one with their surroundings. The beauty of this offbeat spectacle is highlighted by contrasting elements - vibrant blues against stark whites - creating an enchanting visual contrast. It captures not only their physical prowess but also their connection with nature as they glide effortlessly through this aquatic playground. This extraordinary snapshot freezes a moment in time during an event that celebrates both athleticism and adventure. It serves as a reminder of our innate desire to push boundaries and explore uncharted territories.
