“Green Turtle and Snorkelers“
The Story:
I captured this image during a check dive at Shark Point in Komodo, Indonesia. Ironically, despite the site’s name, there were no sharks to be found that day. Instead, I spotted a sea turtle rising toward the surface to take a breath. Above the surface, a group of snorkelers was watching the scene unfold. I instinctively captured this moment, highlighting the peaceful connection and coexistence between the marine life and the human observers.
