Ocean Art 2022: i vincitori

Sono stati annunciati i vincitori dell’edizione 2022 del prestigioso Ocean Art Underwater Photo Contest.

Il titolo di Best of the Show va a Kat Zhou che ha fotografato un primissimo piano di un polpo.
ecco la storia della foto vincitrice:

Questa foto mostra un polpo di barriera dei Caraibi che protegge le sue uova, trovato al largo della costa di West Palm Beach, in Florida.
Come tutte le altre specie di polpi, questa madre non si nutre mentre si prende cura delle sue uova e morirà dopo la loro schiusa. È stato un sentimento agrodolce osservarla proteggere le sue uova, sapendo che si stava avvicinando a una triste fine!

I giudici hanno valutato opere eccezionali di autori provenienti da 70 paesi diversi.

L’elenco completo dei vincitori comprende:
