“There’s a legend among locals that river dolphins, or ‘botos,’ can transform into handsome men known as ‘boto encantado’ to seduce women,” Zhou says. “At first glance simple, then simply perfect. In dark, tannic waters, Kat has created a striking composition capturing this rarely photographed and endangered species in a precision composition. This is by far the best image we’ve ever seen of this species, whose numbers are declining at an alarming rate and whose IUCN’s Red List status was worryingly updated to Endangered in 2019.” the chair of the competition judges, Alex Mustard, says.
The 2023 edition of the Underwater Photographer of the Year competition received more than 6,000 entries from 72 countries. The contest is based in the United Kingdom and includes another award for British Underwater Photographer of the Year 2023. “Whale sharks are sometimes mislabeled as plankton feeders, but they are also active predators of schools of small fish. To me, Ollie’s stunning image is perfectly timed as the shark pounces, switching from benign escort to hunger, mouth gulping down its prey,” Mustard adds.
