A winner in the Sony World Photography Awards in the Open category:
“Muddy Smile” by Alpay Erdem
I was in Fethiye, Turkey last summer for work. She wanted me to take her photo when she was in the air. I took this image on a fast shutter speed to capture her in the air jumping into the lake after coming out of the mud bath. The result was interesting. With the smile on her face and the way she jumped, she seemed to prove how insignificant her age was. She was the hero of the day. Photo taken in Dalyan, Fethiye.
