EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a Plumed Basilisk, also known as the Jesus Christ Lizard, in its natural habitat. The lizard gets its unique name from its extraordinary ability to run several meters over water, resembling the biblical miracle of Jesus walking on water. Set against the lush backdrop of Arenal in Alajuela Province, Costa Rica, this image showcases the intricate patterns and vibrant colors that adorn this remarkable creature. The close-up shot reveals every detail of its scaly skin and perfectly blends with the surrounding foliage through clever camouflage. Perched gracefully on a branch, the lizard exudes an air of alertness as it surveys its surroundings. The photographer skillfully captures this moment with differential focus, emphasizing both foreground and background elements for a visually striking composition. The horizontal frame allows us to appreciate the full extent of nature's wonders while highlighting this travel destination's rich biodiversity. This photograph serves as a testament to the incredible diversity found within our planet's wildlife. Whether you are an avid nature enthusiast or simply appreciate stunning photography, this print is sure to transport you into Costa Rica's untamed wilderness.
