Every now & then I process an image that really means something to me personally. Don’t get me wrong, every image that makes it on to this website is special to me or it doesn’t make the cut. But some are just more special - & Homage to Nature is one of those. To be in the presence of this awesome shoal of horse-eye jacks was a truly humbling experience, I genuinely mean that. The sheer number of these large fish was impressive enough but the way they move in coordination, in a sinuous, wave like manner, was truly beautiful. The diver in the image was not asked to pose, she just did it to be comfortable and take a few minutes to observe the scene before her. Once I’d finished processing it I sent it to Sharon & she was delighted to have such a brilliant momento of the experience. TBH I wish it was me in the scene & someone else had taken the photograph! It’s just been awarded top image in the open colour section of the Beyond National Salon. I’m chuffed, I really am.
