EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Michael Melford showcases the majestic dorsal fin of an orca, also known as a killer whale, gliding through the serene waters of Behm Canal near Ketchikan in Alaska's Alexander Archipelago. The black silhouette of this magnificent creature stands out against the rippled blue surface, creating a striking contrast that highlights its beauty and power. As one of nature's most iconic marine mammals, the orca symbolizes strength and grace. Its sleek body emerges from the cold climate depths to gracefully navigate these remote fjords within the Inside Passage. This endangered species captivates our imagination with its presence in this natural channel surrounded by breathtaking scenery. The calmness exuded by both the orca and its surroundings is palpable in this color image captured during daylight hours. The tranquil atmosphere allows for stunning reflections on the water's surface, enhancing the overall composition of this photograph. Without any human presence to distract from its magnificence, we are able to fully appreciate every detail of this solitary animal head-on display. With only one animal visible on the surface at a time, it reminds us how precious and unique each individual is within their pod. Michael Melford masterfully captures not just an image but also a glimpse into Alaska's rich wildlife heritage. Through his lens, we witness firsthand why these intelligent creatures hold such fascination for people around the world. This print serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these incredible beings and preserve their natural habitat for generations to come.
