EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare and extraordinary moment in the crystal-clear waters of Three Sisters Spring, Florida. A group of vibrant Cichlids gracefully swim around an endangered Florida Manatee, showcasing the harmonious coexistence between these two species. The manatee, a subspecies of the West Indian Manatee, peacefully glides through the water with its glassy flippers and shy snout. The image beautifully portrays the togetherness and tranquility found in this underwater paradise. The reflection of both fish and mammal on the surface adds an ethereal touch to this portrait-like scene. As sunlight filters through the water, it creates mesmerizing reflections that dance upon their bodies. It is remarkable to witness such an unusual encounter between these tropical fish and this gentle giant. With its large group of animals surrounding it, this manatee finds solace in its protected habitat amidst sandy riverbeds. However, we are reminded that despite their harmless nature, manatees remain endangered creatures due to various threats they face. Dave Fleetham's skillful photography allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the vulnerability of these magnificent animals living in our oceans' depths. This photo serves as a reminder for us all to cherish and protect our marine life so future generations can continue marveling at scenes like this one - where wildlife thrives under blue skies alongside friendly companionship from curious Cichlids.
