sylvia liber, Above & Below (SEASCAPE 2024)

It was an extraordinary and unique moment when diving down to photograph a portrait of a freediver against Mother Nature's beautiful raw backdrop when a large stingray made a grand entrance by gliding over the freediver at the same moment she looked up. For a brief moment as it swam past, she thought she had entered a cave, only to quickly realize it was a stingray. Enormous stingrays are uncommon in these parts, so it blew our minds when it happened!
