“Beautiful-throned, immortal Aphrodite, Daughter of Zeus, beguiler, I implore you. Weigh me not down with weariness and anguish. O thou most holy!.”
Afrodita inmortal, de hermoso trono, la hija de Zeus, seductora, te lo ruego: no a mí, no me sometas el animo a penas ni angustias ¡Oh santísima!

“The Water and Salt That Built Her” traces the inner evolution of a woman whose identity is shaped through water, rupture, and return.
The series opens with a birth from the depths — a body emerging in a state of raw vulnerability, untouched yet already marked by the history it will inherit.
Elemental forces begin to test her: the wind pulls at her, trying to take what little stability she has.
She enters a space of blur and distortion, where her face dissolves into shifting outlines — a reflection of not yet knowing who she is meant to become.
As the narrative progresses, she rises onto stone — a threshold moment.
Standing firm above the water that once consumed her, she begins to understand the shape of her own becoming.
The final image brings her back to the salt: bare, present, unguarded.
Here, water and salt embody everything that forged her — tears, sea, memory, endurance.
She emerges not purified but reassembled, claiming her identity with a quiet, elemental certainty.
This is the story of a woman shaped by water, by struggle, and ultimately, by herself.
– Рейтинг фотографов по странам и городам строится на основе 3-х лучших фотографий автора и их относительной позиции в каждой отдельной номинации. Рейтинг в номинации "Мобильная фотография" учитывается в меньшей степени для формирования рейтинга. В списке по странам и городам показывается одна фотография автора с лучшим рейтингом.
– В списке опубликованы только работы которые прошли 2-й этап голосования.
– В рейтинге лучших фотографий учитывается только одна — самая сильная — работа от каждого автора. Даже если у фотографа опубликовано несколько работ, в расчёте позиции используется только одна, с наивысшим рейтингом. Поэтому порядок фотографий в списке может не совпадать с итоговым положением автора в рейтинге.
– The rating of photographers by countries and cities is based on the three best photos of the author and their relative position in each separate nomination. Rating in the nomination "Mobile Photography" is taken into account to a lesser extent for rating formation. The list by country and city shows one photo of the author with the best rating.
– Only those photos have been published in the list that passed the second stage of voting.
– Only one strongest photo from each author is counted in the Best Photos ranking. Even if a photographer has several published works, only the highest-rated one is used to calculate their ranking position. As a result, the order of photos in the list may not match the author's final ranking position.
