Shooting in difficult conditions is not the most transparent water. It is so much more interesting to see this photo. A great moment to shoot - all the animals lined up and as if specially posing for the photographer.

Unique shooting, a rare moment, a good composition! At the same time, very difficult conditions for work. A well-deserved prize.
