EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of nature's protective instinct as an adult Nazca booby delicately tends to its precious eggs. The image was taken at Punta Suarez, located on Santiago Island in the breathtaking Galapagos Islands of Ecuador, South America. The vibrant colors of this wild and untouched world heritage site serve as a stunning backdrop for this intimate moment in the life cycle of these remarkable birds. With no one else around, the booby exhibits unwavering care and dedication towards ensuring the successful reproduction of its species. Michael S. Nolan's photography skillfully portrays the beauty and harmony found within this natural world. The horizontal composition allows us to fully appreciate every detail - from the intricate patterns on the bird's feathers to the delicate texture of each egg. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, we are reminded of both our connection with and responsibility towards preserving such extraordinary wildlife habitats. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that these UNESCO World Heritage sites hold immeasurable value not only for their inhabitants but also for humanity as a whole. Through Nolan's lens, we are transported into a realm where animal themes take center stage, showcasing how even in solitude, animals can create profound moments that touch our hearts and inspire us to protect their fragile existence.
