'River of blood from a dead sperm whale'
Rafael Fernandez Caballero
Seeing a dead animal is always sad. But seeing a big mammal dead like this sperm whale, it is something indescribable.
From land the image was terrifying. But when I flew the drone the situation was even more shocking and dramatic. There was an incredibly large river of blood, maybe longer than a mile, coming out of the sperm whale.
Judge's comment: A terribly sad scene with the ocean saturated from the death of this great creature. The aerial view tells the story perfectly, revealing the sperm whale’s characteristic profile and the flood of blood on the tide.
