EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Terry Moore captures the intriguing world of a Box Crab burrowing in the sand, found in the beautiful waters of Papua New Guinea. The image showcases the crab patiently waiting for its next meal, perfectly blending with its sandy surroundings. The Box Crab, scientifically known as Calappa philargius, is a fascinating crustacean species that thrives in this underwater habitat. Its unique ability to hide and burrow beneath the sand provides it with both protection and camouflage from potential predators. In this close-up shot, we are given a glimpse into the secret life of these elusive creatures. The vibrant colors and intricate details highlight their remarkable features, particularly their curious eyes peering out from under their protective covering. This photograph not only celebrates the beauty of nature but also serves as a reminder of the diverse wildlife that exists within our oceans. It invites us to appreciate and respect these incredible animals living freely in their natural environment. With no human presence depicted in this horizontal composition, we are encouraged to focus solely on the mesmerizing scene unfolding before us – an enchanting encounter between man and sea creature captured through Terry Moore's expert lens.
