EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing print captured by Colin Keates from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are presented with a mesmerizing top view of three leeches, showcasing their distinctive sucker-like mouths. These remarkable creatures have long been associated with both fascination and repulsion due to their unique feeding habits. The image beautifully highlights the intricate details of these invertebrates, revealing the segmented bodies that characterize them as annelids. With their mouths firmly attached to a surface, they appear poised for action - ready to engage in their natural behavior of sucking blood. While some may find it unsettling, it is important to acknowledge the medicinal significance that leeches hold. Historically used for therapeutic purposes, these animals possess healing properties that have been utilized across various cultures throughout centuries. Their ability to extract impure blood has made them valuable assets in medical practices aimed at improving circulation and reducing inflammation. Keates' studio shot allows us an up-close encounter with these enigmatic creatures, inviting contemplation on the wonders of nature's diversity. The composition prompts reflection on our own perceptions and preconceived notions about seemingly unconventional organisms like leeches. Through this photograph, we are reminded once again of the intricacies present within our world - where even humble segmented worms can inspire awe and curiosity.
