EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Juan Carlos Ulate, we witness the raw power and primal instincts of a large crocodile as it devours a chicken offered by Juan Cerdas. Known for his unique hobby of feeding these formidable creatures, Cerdas fearlessly approaches the Tarcoles River in Costa Rica, home to one of the world's highest crocodile populations. The image showcases the sheer size and imposing presence of this wild reptile submerged in water, its jaws wide open to reveal rows of sharp teeth perfectly adapted for hunting and tearing apart prey. The creative use of copy space allows us to focus on the intense moment when nature takes its course. As we observe this scene devoid of human presence, we are reminded of the dangerous wildlife that coexists with us on our planet. The photograph serves as a testament to both the beauty and ferocity found in nature's creations. It is an awe-inspiring reminder that despite our technological advancements, there are still untamed corners where animals reign supreme. Through Ulate's lens, we gain insight into an extraordinary encounter between man and beast—a glimpse into a world few dare to venture. This remarkable snapshot invites contemplation about our place within nature's intricate tapestry while highlighting the courage exhibited by individuals like Juan Cerdas who seek connection with these majestic creatures against all odds.
