3rd place Wildlife Photographer of the Year

Mizael Palomeque Gonzalez Isla Mujeres, Mexico

21°31'36.6"N 86°43'46.8"W

Beautiful manta symmetry. "This was a beautiful day," says photographer Juan Mizael Palomeque Gonzalez. "The ocean was glassy calm and what I saw was magical. I could not keep track of how many whale sharks and mantas welcomed us. Just me and my wife surrounded by gentle giants, I could not ask for more."
