EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ognen Teofilovski, we witness the remarkable sight of a hippopotamus receiving a refreshing shower in its enclosure at the Skopje Zoo. Taken on July 20,2012, during a scorching heat wave that engulfed Macedonia with temperatures soaring up to 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), this image portrays the instinctual need for relief and protection from the power of nature. The close-up shot allows us to marvel at the intricate details of this magnificent wild animal. Every water drop glistens as it cascades down its thick skin, highlighting both the beauty in nature and the resilience of these creatures. The elevated view provides an atmospheric perspective, capturing not only their cute and toothy grin but also showcasing their immense size and strength. This creative composition masterfully captures a moment where vulnerability meets strength. With no people present in the frame, our focus is solely on this picturesque scene unfolding before us. The depth of field adds an artistic touch by blurring out distractions and emphasizing our subject's front view. As we admire this stunning photograph, let it serve as a reminder of how animals adapt to survive even under extreme conditions while showcasing their inherent beauty within nature's grand design.
