EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Rafael C. Torres, a black bear finds unexpected comfort in a residential backyard hammock in Daytona Beach, Florida. Taken during the early evening of May 30,2014, the image showcases the astonishing moment when this wild animal indulged in some human-like behavior. For over 15 minutes, the bear lounged leisurely on the hammock's fabric, seemingly at ease amidst its natural surroundings. The photographer reveals that it was only when the backyard lights were switched on that the startled creature made its hasty retreat into darkness. This extraordinary snapshot perfectly encapsulates nature's ability to surprise and amuse us with its whimsical encounters. The juxtaposition of a powerful black bear finding solace and relaxation in such an unconventional setting evokes both cuteness and humor. The out-of-focus grass and trees create an atmospheric backdrop for this enchanting scene, emphasizing the contrast between untamed wilderness and domestic tranquility. With no humans present in sight, we are left to marvel at how effortlessly wildlife can adapt to our built environment while retaining their innate instincts. Rafael Torres has masterfully captured not just a fleeting moment but also our collective fascination with these majestic creatures who occasionally remind us that even they seek moments of respite from their wild existence.
