EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the vibrant and diverse marine life thriving in the crystal-clear waters of Papua New Guinea. In this mesmerizing image, a banded coral shrimp (Stenopus hispidus) gracefully maneuvers amongst the intricate branches of staghorn coral. The stunning contrast between the vivid colors of both the shrimp and its surroundings creates a visually striking composition. Located in Kimbe Bay, Fathers reef serves as an underwater haven for countless species, showcasing the wonders of nature's delicate balance. The banded coral shrimp, with its distinctive red and white bands adorning its body, is a fascinating creature belonging to the family Stenopodidae. The photographer Steve Jones skillfully captures this moment in time, emphasizing not only the beauty but also highlighting important aspects of marine biology and ecology. This photograph showcases how these remarkable creatures play vital roles within their ecosystem as cleaner shrimps while simultaneously adding to the overall aesthetic appeal of their habitat. With no human presence visible in this image, it allows us to appreciate these animals in their natural environment undisturbed by external factors. It serves as a reminder that our actions have consequences on fragile ecosystems such as coral reefs like this one. Steve Jones' masterful photography transports us into an enchanting world beneath the waves – a world where nature's artistry unfolds before our eyes.
