Award-Winning Green Turtle Portrait

This portrait of a green turtle feeding on seagrass near Cancun holds a special place in my heart. It took countless hours of observation and patience to capture the perfect moment. The turtle’s serene demeanor and the gentle sway of the seagrass create a scene of natural harmony. To my delight, this image was awarded first place in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition by the BBC in London in 2013, under the Cold-Blooded Animal Behavior category. It’s a testament to the beauty and importance of preserving marine life.
Capturing a Moment of Tranquility
Photographing the green turtle was both a challenge and a privilege. These turtles are vital to maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems, and this moment symbolizes their role in nature. The pristine waters near Cancun provided the ideal setting, and I worked with care to minimize my impact while documenting this behavior.
