Finalist, Fine Art. A seagull rests on top of a sea turtle shortly before they both continue their own paths. The photographer said: “Spotting pelagic life in the Mediterranean Sea can be tough, because you usually spend hours without seeing a single splash. After about five hours of searching, we spotted this seagull and noticed that its legs weren’t underwater. We approached slowly with the boat and suddenly realized that it was standing on a sea turtle. I decided to jump into the water, thinking I would find the turtle dead because it wasn’t moving. When I got close enough, I saw its face underwater and realized that the sea turtle was alive. What a surreal scene!”
