2nd place Fine Art Photographer of the Year

Alex Postigo Baja California Sur, Mexico

24°07'33.9"N 111°27'55.0"W

"Off Baja California Sur in Mexico, marlins annually congregate to feed on bait balls," says Postigo. "After they diminish the fish present in quick and elaborate hunting rituals, only scales are left. Here, a blue marlin swims beneath the ocean’s surface, fish scales - resembling a starry sky - raining down around it."
