Laurent Ballesta – the 2023 winner of the prestigeous Wildlife Photographer Competition
A picture of a mysterious and other-worldly horseshoe crab has earned Laurent Ballesta the title of Wildlife Photographer of the Year (WPY) 2023. The golden marine arthropod is seen hugging the bottom muds in waters off Pangatalan Island, in the Philippines.
It is tracked by three small fish, hoping the crab’s movements will expose an opportunistic meal in the sediment.
Ballesta becomes only the second photographer in WPY’s 59-year history to win the competition twice.
