EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the mesmerizing beauty of commensal shrimp on soft coral in Papua New Guinea's Kimbe Bay. The image showcases a close-up view of Periclimenes holthuisi, also known as commensal shrimp, gracefully perched on the delicate branches of soft coral. These small crustaceans form a symbiotic relationship with their host, benefiting from protection and food while providing cleaning services to the coral. The translucent bodies of these colorful shrimp stand out against the backdrop of underwater life, showcasing their intricate details and unique characteristics. With its horizontal composition and vivid color palette, this photograph immerses viewers into the captivating world beneath the sea. Steve Jones skillfully captures this moment in nature, highlighting not only the beauty but also the importance of biodiversity within marine ecosystems. The presence of sea anemones and other marine organisms further emphasizes the interconnectedness and delicate balance that exists within these underwater habitats. This stunning image serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve our oceans' fragile ecosystems for future generations to appreciate and enjoy. It is a testament to both Steve Jones' talent as a photographer and nature's awe-inspiring wonders found in even the smallest creatures inhabiting our planet's vast seascape.
