Photographer: Daniel van Duinkerken
Description: This is a finalist image in the 2021 Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year Competition (Animal Habitat Category). Results of the competition will be announced on August 26th, 2021.
Floating early morning in my inflatable hide, I noticed these out-of-focus specular highlights lighting up while shooting into the sun. This Platypus ( Ornithorhynchus anatinus) was busy foraging, repeatedly diving down and coming back up for air. I positioned myself with the platypus between me and the sun, creating this dreamy image.
