EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting sight of nesting gannets on Helgoland, Germany. These magnificent Northern Gannets, scientifically known as Sula bassana or Morus bassanus, have formed lifelong bonds with their mates. The rocky cliffs of Helgoland have been their home since 1991, providing a safe haven for these beautiful birds in the vast North Sea. What makes this photograph truly special is that it showcases the gannets' natural behavior without any sense of threat from visitors. Throughout the breeding season, these sea birds can be observed up close and personal, allowing us to witness their affectionate interactions and mesmerizing rituals. The image itself is a testament to Frans Sellies' exceptional photography skills. With selective focus and a vertical composition, he has managed to capture every intricate detail of these fascinating creatures. From the female animal's serene presence to the male animal's striking features, each element contributes to an awe-inspiring portrait. As we gaze upon this stunning print, we are reminded of the inherent beauty found in nature's creations. The delicate balance between land and sea comes alive through every feathered head turned sideways and every graceful body part captured by Sellies' lens. This print serves as a timeless reminder of our planet's incredible biodiversity and invites us to appreciate its wonders with reverence and admiration.
