EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Juan Carlos Ulate, the delicate beauty of a Great White Egret is juxtaposed against the raw power and danger of a crocodile in the Tarcoles River. This river, known for having one of the highest crocodile populations in the world, serves as an extraordinary backdrop for this remarkable encounter between two distinct species. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of both creatures. The egret's graceful form is highlighted as it stands fearlessly near its formidable counterpart. Its snowy white feathers create a striking contrast against the murky waters of the river. Meanwhile, the crocodile lurks just beneath the surface, its reptilian eyes fixed on potential prey. The image captures nature's duality - showcasing both vulnerability and strength within these wild animals. With creative use of composition and exposed elements, Ulate masterfully portrays this unique moment in time. The absence of human presence emphasizes that this scene belongs solely to nature itself. This photograph not only showcases Costa Rica's rich biodiversity but also reminds us of our place within it. It serves as a powerful reminder that despite their inherent dangers, these creatures contribute to the undeniable beauty found in our natural world.
