THE GOLDEN HORSESHOE
LAURENT BALLESTA
Overall winner and winner, Portfolio Award
Laurent watched as a tri-spine horseshoe crab moved slowly over the mud, searching for food, in the protected waters of Pangatalan Island in the Philippines. He focused on the horseshoe crab’s golden, protective carapace and the trio of juvenile golden trevallies poised to dart down for edible morsels ploughed up in its wake.
