EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Juan Carlos Ulate, a delicate butterfly fearlessly takes flight over the imposing figure of a large crocodile in the Tarcoles River. This river, known for its exceptionally high population of crocodiles, serves as the backdrop for this remarkable display of contrast between two vastly different creatures. The image showcases the fragile beauty of nature juxtaposed against the grotesque power and danger that lurks beneath the water's surface. The creative use of depth of field allows us to appreciate both subjects simultaneously - the intricate details on the butterfly's wings and the menacing teeth exposed by the basking reptile. With no people in sight, we are left to marvel at this extraordinary moment where vulnerability meets strength. The jaw-dropping scene reminds us of nature's ability to surprise and captivate our senses. As we gaze upon this photograph, we cannot help but feel a sense of awe towards these incredible creatures coexisting in their natural habitat. It serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst such contrasting elements, there is still room for harmony and balance within our world. This stunning image invites us into an untamed realm where wildlife reigns supreme and encourages us to appreciate both its fragility and resilience.
