EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Petr Josek Snr, we witness a rare and thrilling moment in the South Moravian village of Velky Karlov. A massive Nile crocodile can be seen devouring a chicken at a local farm, showcasing the raw power and instinct of these magnificent creatures. The Jevisovice agricultural co-operative, responsible for breeding over 200 Nile crocodiles primarily for agri-tourism purposes, provides an ideal setting for such encounters with nature's wonders. The image beautifully captures the unity between predator and prey as the crocodile lunges forward to seize its meal. From a low angle view, every detail is meticulously highlighted - from the water droplets cascading off its scaly skin to the intense splash created by its powerful attack. The close-up shot offers an elevated perspective of this awe-inspiring scene, emphasizing both the beauty and ferocity found within our natural environment. This picturesque display reminds us of the untamed wilderness that exists just beyond our doorstep. It serves as a reminder of how animals like this Nile crocodile effortlessly navigate their surroundings while maintaining their primal instincts. With no humans present in sight, it allows us to appreciate nature's unfiltered magnificence without any distractions. Petr Josek Snr's creative use of composition perfectly captures not only the intensity but also showcases the delicate balance between life and death in this wild encounter. This photograph stands as a testament to both nature's power and beauty that continues to captivate us all.
