EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing glow-in-the-dark blue waves caused by a natural phenomenon known as harmful algal bloom or "red tide". Taken near Sam Mun Tsai beach in Hong Kong, this image captures the surreal beauty of nature's light show. The long exposure technique used by photographer Tyrone Siu allows us to witness the ethereal lighting effect created by these bioluminescent waves. Algal blooms occur when there is a sudden surge in algae population within a water system, and while they may seem enchanting, they can have detrimental effects on other organisms. This photograph serves as a reminder of the delicate balance within our environment and highlights the negative impacts that such phenomena can have. The composition of this picture is truly breathtaking, with an elevated view showcasing the picturesque horizon line where sky meets water. The reflection of the glowing waves adds an extra layer of beauty to this already stunning scene. With no people present in the frame, it emphasizes nature's power and magnificence. The creative use of long exposure photography brings out every detail and enhances the glow-in-the-dark effect, making it appear almost otherworldly. This image reminds us of both the surface-level beauty found in nature and its deeper complexities beneath. Overall, Siu's photograph captures a moment that is both awe-inspiring and thought-provoking, reminding us to appreciate Earth's wonders while also acknowledging their potential impact on our ecosystem.
