EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking print captured by Andrei Kasprishin, swans gracefully swim over a lake as steam rises above the water during a stunning sunset near the village of Urozhainy in Russia's Altai region. The air temperature at an astonishing minus 35 degrees Celsius (-31 degrees Fahrenheit) creates an ethereal scene, with the steam adding to the surreal beauty of the landscape. Every year, around 600 swans migrate to this lake, seeking refuge from the severe cold. The warm springs that heat up the water become their sanctuary during winter. Fed by yagers, these majestic birds are able to survive in such extreme temperatures. The composition of this photograph is truly remarkable. Against a backdrop of snow-covered trees and open space, a flock of swans forms a striking silhouette against the vibrant hues of red and orange created by the setting sun. The misty fog adds an atmospheric touch to this picturesque winter scene. Andrei Kasprishin has masterfully captured nature's beauty and showcased its resilience in harsh conditions through his lens. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst freezing temperatures and challenging environments, life can thrive and create moments of awe-inspiring wonder.
