I was honoured to be awarded 2nd place in the “Animals in their Environment” category of the Siena Awards this year. My image shows the intelligent teamwork of humpback whales as they create a curtain of bubbles to trap krill. They then lunge, mouths open, through the centre of the bubble-net to capture their prey.
We visited the stunning city of Siena to attend the awards festival. It felt like a trip back in time as we wandered through the ancient streets, enjoying local foods & the unique culture of Siena. The crescendo was the last night, when hundreds gathered in the Piazza, including a choir of Sienese who performed local songs before the awards ceremony.
