Ocean Art 2022 - 2nd Place Portrait
2nd Place Portrait
Gabriella Luongo
"Shark Portrait"
The Story: I have always dreamed of taking photos of sharks in the blue and finally got an opportunity this summer in the Azores. No fear, no stress of any kind - only peace and a sense of community with nature. These animals are so intelligent and curious. Once accepted by them in their environment, you can do nothing but admire their elegance. Diving among them is a privilege and a memory I will never forget.
