EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Baz Ratner, a group of hippos can be seen running into a river at the Mpala Research Centre in Laikipia County, Kenya. The image perfectly encapsulates the raw beauty and power of these magnificent creatures as they plunge into the water with incredible force. The composition is truly stunning, with the lush green grass and vibrant plants framing the scene. The reflection of the hippos in the calm waters adds an element of serenity to their energetic display. As they make contact with the water's surface, droplets are sent flying through the air, creating a mesmerizing splash that captures our attention. This photograph not only showcases nature's splendor but also highlights how animals find joy and refreshment in their natural environment. It reminds us of the importance of preserving these habitats for future generations to enjoy. Ratner's creative use of lighting and composition allows us to witness this awe-inspiring moment firsthand. With no people present in the frame, we are solely focused on these remarkable creatures and their playful interaction with each other and their surroundings. Overall, this image serves as a powerful reminder of why wildlife photography is so important - it allows us to appreciate and celebrate Earth's diverse ecosystems while raising awareness about conservation efforts needed to protect them.
