EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Saul Martinez, we are confronted with a unique and somewhat surreal sight. The image portrays the aftermath of extreme cold weather in Lake Worth, Florida, where cold-stunned iguanas lie motionless on the asphalt road. The frozen reptiles create an unexpected contrast against the urban environment. The composition of the photograph is striking as it offers a view from above, allowing us to fully comprehend the scale of this phenomenon. With no people present in the frame, nature takes center stage as these wild animals become vulnerable victims of Mother Nature's whims. The creative use of space adds depth to the image, emphasizing both the isolation and fragility of these creatures within their surroundings. As we observe them lying still on their backs, one cannot help but feel a sense of empathy for these normally agile lizards now rendered helpless by adverse weather conditions. This thought-provoking photograph serves as a reminder that even in our modern world dominated by human activity, nature can still assert its power over us and all living beings. It prompts us to reflect upon our role in preserving and protecting our environment so that such scenes remain rare occurrences rather than becoming commonplace.
