EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Karen Doody captures the heartbreaking sight of an injured Hawksbill Turtle with a damaged shell in the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean Sea, Mexico. The image showcases the misfortune that has befallen this majestic sea creature, highlighting both its physical injury and the fragility of its aquatic environment. The scarred shell serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by endangered species like this Hawksbill Turtle. As it gracefully swims at the bottom of the ocean floor, surrounded by vibrant coral reefs and golden sand, we are confronted with the harsh reality that even these seemingly pristine environments are not immune to human impact. In this horizontal color image, Doody's photography skillfully portrays both beauty and vulnerability. With no people in sight, our attention is solely focused on this solitary animal struggling against adversity. The side view allows us to appreciate every detail - from its intricate carapace to its delicate flippers propelling it through turquoise waters. As we gaze upon this wounded creature, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect and preserve our natural world. This photograph serves as a powerful call-to-action for environmental conservation efforts, urging us to take immediate steps towards safeguarding these magnificent creatures before it's too late.
