Thank you to @hipaae for the incredible recognition in this year's competition with a theme of “Nature". I am very proud to have won your 1st place prize in the 'Portfolio (Story-Telling)' Category! For me, at the end of the day, photography is all about storytelling. This is a wonderful birthday present. If you would like to help make my birthday extra special, please consider joining The Tide (wild.org/donate-sealegacy/) to support @sealegacy’s conservation efforts. Regularly, SeaLegacy shares incredible content regarding wildlife conservation in an effort to create positive change. For me, pictures are just pictures unless they are in service to our planet and drive change. Today, and always, I have so much gratitude for all of you. Thank you for supporting me and following along with my journey! (link in bio) #turnthetide #jointhetide #blueplanet #fundraiser #awardwinning #nature #naturephotography
