EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of a Grey Heron standing gracefully on a weathered driftwood log, against the backdrop of St Lucia's breathtaking beach in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa. The Grey Heron, scientifically known as Ardea cinerea, is a common resident throughout Africa, thriving near various water bodies such as estuaries, rivers, lakes, and marshes. With its striking plumage and majestic stature, this avian marvels with its long beak and piercing eyes that exude both focus and tranquility. Known for its monogamous nature and colonial nesting habits in heronries, this species has found solace amidst the untouched beauty of Isimangaliso Wetland Park - a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As the morning sun casts gentle rays upon the shorelines of St Lucia's estuary beach, this solitary bird stands tall in stillness. Its wings remain neatly folded by its side while it gazes out into the horizon with an air of calmness. The image focus technique used here accentuates every intricate detail - from each individual feather to every contour on its body. Emil von Maltitz's masterful photography transports us to this idyllic location where wildlife thrives harmoniously with nature. This photograph not only showcases the magnificence of African wildlife but also invites us to appreciate their natural habitats within travel destinations like St Lucia.
