EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by A. Bruce Mitchell, we are transported to the untamed landscapes of Western Australia, where an ominous yet mesmerizing scene unfolds. At the edge of a muddy creek in Windjana Gorge, a formidable freshwater crocodile known as Crocodylus johnstoni finds respite from its watery domain. With its piercing gaze fixed upon the camera lens, it exudes both power and grace. What makes this image truly extraordinary is the unexpected presence of two delicate dragonflies perched on the crocodile's scaly back. As if defying nature's laws, these ethereal creatures have found an unlikely sanctuary amidst danger itself. Their vibrant wings shimmer under the Australian sun, creating a striking contrast against their reptilian host. The composition of this photograph is masterful - captured horizontally to fully showcase the breadth and grandeur of this ancient land. The rich hues of earthy browns and greens dominate the frame, evoking a sense of raw wilderness that defines Australia's rugged beauty. Bruce Mitchell's photography transports us into moments rarely witnessed by human eyes – fleeting encounters between predator and prey that remind us how interconnected life truly is in these remote corners of our planet. This print serves as a testament to Australia's unique biodiversity and reminds us to appreciate even the most fearsome creatures for their role in maintaining ecological balance.
