UPY Portrait - Highly Commended
'Eye Contact'
Jonas Beyer
An intimate moment in the cold waters of the northern fjords of Norway. Making eye contact with a young orca, an apex predator of the ocean. Being so close to this magnificent creature is both humbling and exhilarating—a fleeting connection with one of the most intelligent and powerful hunters of the marine world. A true privilege to witness its grace and curiosity up close in its natural habitat.
Judge's comment: A view and a level of connection with the ocean’s top predator that we’ve not seen in a photo before. A revealing and intimate portrait combined with an engaging composition. Remarkable work.
