EDITORS COMMENTS
In this close-up, a beautiful butterfly delicately feeds on a piece of fruit within the confines of a hatchery in Cali. The photograph, taken by Jaime Saldarriaga in June 2012, showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors that make these creatures so enchanting. The image captures the essence of this wild animal as it gracefully hovers above the fruit, its wings spread wide to reveal an array of mesmerizing patterns and scales. With an elevated view, we are able to appreciate every minute detail - from the delicate veins running through its translucent wings to the orange hues that adorn its body. This solitary butterfly seems suspended in time and space; there are no people present to disturb its peaceful feeding ritual. Against a picturesque backdrop, bathed in natural light and with just enough depth of field to create an atmospheric ambiance, it is impossible not to be captivated by nature's beauty. Beyond being visually stunning, this photograph also serves as a reminder of our environment's delicate balance. It highlights both the importance of conservation efforts and creative uses for natural resources when they reach their end cycle. This moment frozen in time encapsulates the awe-inspiring wonders found within our own backyard – reminding us all that true beauty can be found even in small creatures like butterflies.
