Winner of Nomadict's Best of the Week #18

Captured in Bunaken, North Sulawesi 

There was a stillness in that moment, a single turtle drifting upward, surrounded by silence and silhouettes.

I shot this in Bunaken, Manado, a place known for its walls and warm waters, but this frame felt different. There was no rush. No big scene. Just presence. A small reminder of how graceful life can be when left alone.

This image was selected as Nomadict’s Best of the Week #18, a quiet honor that reminds me why I do what I do. Not to chase the perfect shot, but to witness what’s already there.

Shot on the Sony A7IV, 16-35mm, f/7, 1/250, ISO125
