Amlos Nachoum gained interest with how the Sardines in the Pacific Ocean turns into a ball to evade its attackers. The formidable Striped Marlins and the ever-resilient Sea Lions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional photographer Amlos Nachoum captured this image of Sardines whom are native to the Pacific Ocean in a beautiful ball of shimmering lights. However, the reason of said event might not be as beautiful as the brutal cycle of life takes place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When threatened, Sardines form themselves into a large ball and as predators attack. In this image, Striped Marlins and Sea Lions gathered as the reflective Sardines catches the attention of these predators. Blue striped marlins are residents of the Pacific Ocean along with Californian Sea Lions. They often beach themselves along the beaches of California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the Sardines defense mechanism to form a ball to evade attackers as small balls means it is hard for attackers to pinpoint a survivor. Nachoum noticed the shape that the bait ball formed and how the light beautifully reflected and immediately was captivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This transcendent photograph of nature at play and sardines arranged neatly into a shape warranted a Platinum Medal by the 2022 MUSE Photography Awards under the category Nature Photography \u2013 Natural Art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
