EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment on a popular beach in Santa Teresa, Puntarenas, Costa Rica. The focal point of the image is a majestic South American black vulture, known scientifically as Coragyps brasiliensis. With its wings spread wide and feathers glistening under the sun's rays, this magnificent bird stands tall amidst shallow waters. The scene unfolds as the vulture indulges in a feast of dead fish scattered across the sandy shore. Its sharp beak skillfully picks apart its meal while maintaining an intense focus on its task at hand. This snapshot showcases nature's raw beauty and highlights the intricate balance between life and death that exists within our natural world. The vibrant colors of this photograph further enhance its visual appeal. The azure blue sky meets the golden hues of sand, creating a striking contrast against the vulture's dark plumage. As we observe this solitary creature engrossed in its feeding ritual, we are reminded of how animals adapt to survive and thrive in their respective environments. Rob Francis has masterfully captured not only an awe-inspiring wildlife moment but also invites us to appreciate Costa Rica's rich biodiversity. Through his lens, he transports us to this enchanting travel destination where nature reigns supreme. This remarkable image serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling tourist hotspots like Santa Teresa Beach, there is still space for untamed wilderness and fascinating encounters with creatures like the South American black vulture.
