ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Caribbean Sea, Riviera Maya, Mexico

In the depths of the Mexican Caribbean, an eagle ray glides with grace that feels unearthly. The approach to edit the image in inverted black and white, transforms its body into a white luminous phantom traced with dark patterns. Its wings ripple in slow, silent motion, as though performing the solo dance in the Lake of the Swans Ballet. Alone on stage, evokes a story of transformation. It’s a silent and powerful journey that pierces the sol. This image represents the moment when the eagle ray dissolves, and the swan is born. When the majestic and delicate eagle blends with the purity and grace of the bird.

My name is Leticia Carbajal (@lethyfoon), and I’m an underwater photographer originally from Spain based in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. I am specialized in cave, cenote and ocean photography, focusing on capturing the hidden beauty of the underwater world. Through my lens, I aim to document not only the stunning geology of these spaces but also the emotional and spiritual connection many people experience when exploring them. I collaborate with divers, explorers, and conservation projects to showcase the fragility and majesty of these unique ecosystems.
