Homer by Mike Criss

Captured during a quiet morning departure from Homer, Alaska, this photograph documents a serendipitous encounter with a float plane resting in the stillness of the landscape. Having spent the weekend documenting eagles, the photographer was struck by the ethereal atmosphere of the scene, prompting an immediate creative response to the light and setting. The image is award-worthy for its ability to transform a routine moment of travel into a magical, evocative narrative, showcasing the unique intersection of human machinery and the raw, untamed beauty of the Alaskan wilderness.
