EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment in the bustling city of Melbourne, Australia. Against the backdrop of the vibrant city lights, two little blue penguins stand proudly on rocks at night, creating an enchanting silhouette against the urban skyline. Taken at St Kilda breakwater in December 2016, this image perfectly showcases the delicate balance between nature and human civilization.
The little blue penguin, also known as Eudyptula minor or fairy penguin, is a charming seabird native to Australasia. These flightless creatures find solace amidst the rocky shores of Victoria's coastline, specifically in St Kilda where they form strong bonds with their companions.
In this photograph by Doug Gimesy - joint winner of COP26 Countdown Photo Competition 2021 - we witness not only the beauty of these adorable birds but also their resilience to thrive even in an environment dominated by artificial light and towering skyscrapers. The juxtaposition between nature and man-made structures highlights both our impact on wildlife habitats and their ability to adapt.
As darkness envelops them under a starry sky, these two little penguins symbolize love and friendship amidst chaos. Their presence reminds us that even within busy cities like Melbourne, there is still room for harmony between humans and animals.
With its impeccable composition capturing every detail from saltwater splashes to silhouetted feathers against shimmering waves of Bass Strait's Indian Ocean waters; this photograph truly deserves recognition as a photography award winner. It serves as a powerful reminder that preserving our natural world alongside urban development should be at the forefront of our collective consciousness.
