'River dolphin surfaces in Amazon's mystic depths'
Olivier Clement
In the depths of the mysterious Amazonian river, a Boto emerges like a fleeting note in the dark, composing a visual symphony amidst the flooded forest. Crafting a composition in the depths, I navigated the challenges of the darkness, capturing the essence of the rainy season's majesty. Through the veil of the waters, the graceful form of the pink river dolphin becomes a harmonious focal point, a testament to the delicate dance between the seasonal rhythms and the mystical allure of Amazon's aquatic wilderness. This image is a testament to both patience and respect for nature; no bait was used to capture this photo, and no strobes were employed to ensure minimal disturbance to the captivating creature in its natural habitat.
Judge's comment: This dolphin seems to be dreaming of another world. I love the expression on this dolphins face, to me it seems to be looking up through the tannin filled waters, pondering what life must be like in above the surface. An evocative portrait.
