EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Laszlo Balogh, the enchanting spectacle of long-tailed mayflies mating on the surface of the Tisza river near Tiszainoka is beautifully depicted. The image showcases millions of these delicate creatures engaged in a frantic rush to mate and reproduce before their short lives come to an end within just a few hours. The annual phenomenon known as "Tiszaviragzas" or Tisza blooming season occurs during late spring to early summer every year, transforming the river into a breathtaking display of nature's wonders. Against a serene backdrop, the intricate details of these winged insects are highlighted as they gracefully navigate through the air. The composition captures not only the beauty of this natural event but also emphasizes cooperation among these tiny creatures. The vibrant green hues blend harmoniously with the surrounding elements - from the glistening water reflecting sun rays to fluffy clouds scattered across an atmospheric sky. With no human presence in sight, this image allows us to appreciate nature's marvels at its purest form. The flight patterns and multiple layers create a sense of movement and energy that is balanced by the tranquility emanating from nearby trees. Laszlo Balogh's creative use of composition and focus draws attention to each individual mayfly while showcasing their collective dance upon nature's stage. This photograph serves as a reminder that even within fleeting moments, there exists extraordinary beauty waiting to be discovered in our natural world.
