EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Vasily Fedosenko, a mallard duck gracefully glides across a frozen lake as the temperature plummets to an astonishing minus 23 degrees Celsius (minus 9.4 degrees Fahrenheit). The serene scene unfolds on the outskirts of Minsk, Belarus, where nature's beauty clashes with the harshness of winter. The image showcases the resilience and adaptability of wildlife in extreme conditions. Despite the frigid air and icy surroundings, the mallard duck remains undeterred, navigating through snow-covered drifts effortlessly. Its vibrant feathers stand out against the monochromatic backdrop, creating a striking contrast that emphasizes its natural elegance. Fedosenko's expert use of depth of field adds an artistic touch to this photograph. While capturing every intricate detail of the mallard duck's beak and feather patterns in sharp focus, he skillfully blurs out-of-focus elements like distant trees and other animals in order to draw attention solely to his subject. This snapshot serves as a reminder that even amidst freezing temperatures and desolate landscapes, life continues to thrive. It is a testament to both nature's ability to endure and our own capacity for appreciation when faced with such breathtaking scenes.
