Fine Art: Honorable Mention 2023 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Florida, USA, February 2022
I aim to capture the exquisite moments of the Great Egrets in their natural Florida habitat, showcasing their beauty in all its splendor. As a photographer, I embrace the opportunity to capture and convey my subjective view of reality through my work. During post-processing, I enhance the background with ethereal and mystical lighting, resulting in a dreamy and mysterious world that exists solely in my imagination.
