SINA RITTER - VOYAGE OF LIGHT

"It was the last moments of my dive, the other divers had already climbed back onto the boat. Just when I thought the underwater spectacle was over, a shape materialized a few meters ahead. My heart raced, thinking a turtle was in distress, tangled in what I feared was trash. I swam closer, ready to intervene, only to discover the reality of the scene: the turtle was simply enjoying its meal, a jellyfish. Relief washed over me, and as I watched this ancient mariner continue its meal, I raised my camera. The sun cast a celestial glow around us, and in that serene moment, I captured this image – a snapshot of life's uninterrupted cycle.".
