Honorable Mention
A man and the force of nature
DESCRIPTION
I consider myself very lucky. I got to travel to the most beautiful places on planet Earth and witness a true miracle: I got to see whales in their natural habitat. Their size is beyond what my mind can grasp: bigger than an airplane, bigger than a house! And I decided I need to capture a man next to those beautiful creatures - and so I did. AUTHOR
