Entre dos mundos por Henley Spiers
"10 metros más abajo, me encontré flotando entre dos mundos. Abajo, un enorme banco de peces cubría el fondo hasta donde podía ver. Arriba, un solo cormorán patrullaba la superficie, recuperando el aliento y observando un potencial banquete submarino. El cormorán, mejor diseñado para nadar que para volar, se zambulliría a toda velocidad, persiguiendo agresivamente a los peces. La escuela se movería al unísono para escapar del pico afilado del ave. La mayoría de las veces, el ave regresó a la superficie con las manos vacías y la paz se restablecería momentáneamente. Yo entrecerraría los ojos en la superficie soleada, tratando de hacer un seguimiento del depredador y anticipar la próxima incursión bajo el agua. Esta imagen captura la silueta hostil y negra del cormorán mientras se sumerge en busca de su presa, que por un breve momento, permanece inconsciente del peligro que se encuentra arriba".

This week: Between Two Worlds by Henley Spiers
"10 meters below, I found myself floating between two worlds, and below, a huge school of fish covered the bottom as far as I could see." Up above, a single cormorant patrolled the surface, catching its breath and observing a potential underwater feast. Better designed to swim than to fly, he would dive at full speed, aggressively chasing the fish. The school would move in unison to escape the sharp beak of the bird. Most of the time, the bird returned to the surface empty-handed and peace would be restored momentarily. I would squint at the sunny surface, trying to track the predator and anticipate the next foray under water. This image captures the hostile black silhouette of the cormorant as it plunges in search of its prey , that for a brief moment, remains unconscious of the danger that is above ".
