Fallen Tree
From the photographer: "Fallen tree on crystal clear turquoise sea water. Tourists visit this place, but it still maintains all its natural beauty and biological value as an ecosystem, proof that tourism and preservation can and must work together." This image was shot on Iguana Island, Cayo Largo, Cuba. Credit: Carmen Bellido Aragones
