I chose the dead albatross with a stomach full of plastic/pollution. The albatross is laid perfectly in the center of the screen with an open stomach, perfectly showcasing the harm that pollution has on the wildlife in this area. One of the main factors I noticed about this photo is the timing. The photo was taken at least a few days or weeks after the bird died. We can see the bird decaying while the plastic remains intact, which means it could eventually kill another animal once the body decays further because the plastic is not biodegradable and will not decay with the bird. The pavement shot in the background also further shows that this animal did not die peacefully and likely suffered, eventually dying out on the open, uncomfortable pavement. This shows the severe damage of pollution of wildlife on this island.
