EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Shamil Zhumatov, the raw power and instinct of a tamed golden eagle is on full display as it launches a fierce attack on a corsac fox during an annual hunting contest in Chengelsy Gorge, Kazakhstan. The image freezes the intense moment when predator meets prey, showcasing the incredible strength and speed of both animals. The golden eagle's feathers glisten in the cold winter air as it soars through the sky with unmatched agility. Its wings outstretched, ready to strike at any given moment. In contrast, the corsac fox scurries across the snowy landscape below, desperately trying to evade its airborne assailant. This photograph beautifully captures nature's unyielding determination for survival; an epic chase unfolding against a frozen backdrop. With no people present in this wilderness environment, we are left to marvel at these wild creatures' primal instincts and their ability to adapt and thrive even in harsh weather conditions. As hunger drives them forward, both hunter and hunted rely on their innate skills honed over generations. It serves as a reminder of how delicate yet resilient our natural world can be. Shamil Zhumatov's creative use of composition allows us to witness this dramatic encounter between two remarkable species - one soaring high above while the other races along beneath - reminding us that even amidst freezing temperatures, life continues its eternal struggle for existence.
