EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Cyril Laubscher from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are drawn into the intriguing world of the Japanese Quail (Coturnix japonica). The close-up shot showcases a moment of intense scrutiny as the quail fixes its gaze upon a larva crawling on the floor. Against a stark white background, the image takes on an ominous tone, hinting at a deeper narrative. The rear view perspective adds to the sense of mystery and leaves us wondering what lies ahead for these two animals. With no people in sight, we are left alone with these endangered species, highlighting their vulnerability and need for protection. The studio setting emphasizes their captivity while also allowing us to appreciate their beauty up close. The horizontal composition perfectly frames this fleeting encounter between predator and prey. As we observe the quail looking away from us, it seems lost in thought or perhaps contemplating its next move. This moment captures both the fragility and resilience of wildlife in our ever-changing world. Laubscher's skillful use of lighting and focus draws attention to every intricate detail - from the delicate feathers of the quail to the wriggling larva on the floor. Through this photograph, we are reminded of nature's interconnectedness and how even seemingly insignificant creatures play vital roles within ecosystems. Overall, this stunning image invites us to reflect on our relationship with nature and serves as a poignant reminder that every species has a story worth telling – even if it is "the end" for some
