UPY Portrait - Commended
'Close encounters in the Swamps'
Mirko Zanni
During my last trip to Florida to photograph Goliath groupers, I had to change my travel plans due to hurricane Dorian ... so I went to visit the Everglades to be able to photograph the American alligator, it didn’t take long to find some alligators of considerable size and not at all afraid of my camera housing!
Judge's comment: In nearly all portraits it’s the eye or eyes that count and in this image, despite being upstaged by an impressive set of dentures, it is perfectly composed to take the viewer’s eye straight to it. Judge’s like images that get straight to the point; this one does
it very well.
