EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring moment when a majestic humpback whale breaches the surface of the Pacific Ocean at the Uramba Bahia Malaga National Natural Park in Colombia. The image, taken on August 12,2018 by photographer Miguel MEDINA from Agence France-Presse (AFP), beautifully showcases the sheer power and grace of these magnificent creatures. The significance of this photograph is further highlighted by its connection to an important event that took place on September 10,2018. Pro- and anti-whaling nations convened in Brazil for a week-long showdown, where Joji Morishita, incoming chairman of the International Whaling Commission (IWC), emphasized that these crucial talks could shape the future of whaling. In this context, as we gaze upon this breathtaking image, it serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve these incredible marine mammals. It prompts us to reflect upon our relationship with nature and consider how our actions can impact their existence. The vertical composition adds depth to the picture while emphasizing both the grandeur of the whale's leap and its surroundings. This print not only captivates with its visual appeal but also sparks contemplation about conservation efforts and raises awareness about global discussions surrounding whaling practices.
