EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this black-and-white snapshot, we witness the graceful dance of nature as a magnificent Great Egret showcases its fishing prowess in the serene Valkenhorst nature reserve. With its elegant silhouette reflected on the glassy surface of the shallow fishpond, this wading bird becomes an enchanting subject that caught the eye of judges at the prestigious Groene Camera 2022 photo contest. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time, where anticipation hangs thickly in the air. As if performing for an adoring audience, our feathered protagonist stands tall and proud with one leg delicately poised above water. Its keen eyes are locked onto an unsuspecting prey beneath the tranquil surface. With lightning speed and precision, our star performer strikes! A mesmerizing splash erupts from below as ripples cascade outward like applause for this remarkable display of hunting skill. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to every detail – from each individual feather to every droplet suspended mid-air. This extraordinary image transports us to a summer's day in Noord-Brabant, where wildlife thrives amidst breathtaking landscapes. It serves as a reminder that even within our modern world, moments of pure natural beauty can still be captured and celebrated. So let us applaud David Pattyn's exceptional talent behind this lens masterpiece – forever preserving this unforgettable encounter between man and egret in monochromatic splendor.
