EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bittersweet encounter with the magnificent Whale shark (Rhincodon typus) in Honda Bay, Palawan, The Philippines. As the largest fish species on Earth gracefully glides through the crystal-clear waters, its injured body tells a tale of human impact. The haunting image showcases a boat propeller injury etched into the gentle giant's side, serving as a stark reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve these incredible creatures. Despite this visible wound, the resilience of nature shines through as the whale shark continues its journey amidst vibrant coral reefs. Located in Southeast Asia's enchanting Honda Bay, this underwater paradise offers an idyllic backdrop for both adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts alike. With no people present in the frame, we are invited to reflect upon our role as stewards of marine life and appreciate their beauty undisturbed. Duncan Murrell's skillful photography transports us to this awe-inspiring destination where sea meets sky. Through his lens, we witness not only one wounded animal but also become aware of our collective responsibility towards protecting all wildlife inhabiting our precious oceans. As we gaze at this poignant scene captured during daylight hours, let it serve as a call to action – urging us to cherish and safeguard these fragile ecosystems for generations to come. Let us remember that every choice we make has an impact on these extraordinary creatures who share their home with us beneath the waves.
