Duden’s White Angles by Zahraa Al Hassani

Captured at the scenic Duden Waterfalls in Antalya, this photograph highlights a serene moment where local ducks glide across the water near a popular dining spot. The photographer expertly utilized a 122mm focal length to isolate the subjects against the tranquil lake, capturing the interaction between the wildlife and the visitors who frequent the area. The image is award-worthy for its clean composition and the delicate balance of natural light, which beautifully emphasizes the soft textures of the water and the ducks, turning a common tourist scene into a refined wildlife study.
