EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate beauty of nature in all its glory. In a scrubland in Zadar province, Croatia, a vibrant spiny sow thistle flower stands tall, attracting the attention of a graceful Bee fly (Hemipenthes velutina). The bee fly delicately feeds from the flower's petals, showcasing its remarkable feeding technique. The image showcases the stunning colors and details of both the insect and the flower. The bright yellow hue of the flower head contrasts beautifully against the greenery of its surroundings. With a close-up view, every petal and feature is highlighted with precision. Taken by photographers Nick Upton and Robert Harding, this photograph transports us to Europe's enchanting landscapes. It invites us to appreciate not only the natural world but also our ability to capture these moments through travel photography. In this image devoid of human presence, we are reminded that animals thrive in their own habitats without interference. The foreground focus on the bee fly emphasizes its importance as an integral part of our ecosystem. As it goes about its daily routine amidst wild plants like Sonchus asper or spiny sow thistle, it serves as a reminder that wildlife deserves our respect and protection. This print is an invitation to explore Croatia's diverse flora and fauna while appreciating nature's wonders up close.
