‘These stunning pink lakes in the Ria Lagartos Biosphere Reserve on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula might look man-made, but the colour is all natural! The water turns pink because of an abundance of the same organisms that give flamingos their pink feathers. The lakes, which are part of a local salt works, start out brown or orange. As the water evaporates leaving a higher concentration of salt, the lakes turn pink, creating a magical effect!’ – Emily Luxton,

Why we like it: This is the perfect landscape with a surprise punch: clouds dotting the clear blue sky, endless horizon and then… pink water? And it’s all natural? This is an amazing find and the image is strengthened by the smart use of cropping and framing. We often hear, ‘rule-of-thirds, rule-of-thirds’ but in this case splitting the horizon right across the middle just draws us in further in.
