EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic beauty of a giant oceanic manta ray in all its glory. With distinct markings adorning its topside, this remarkable creature is showcased against the backdrop of Dampier Strait in Raja Ampat, West Papua, Indonesia. The image highlights the intricate details of this batoidea species, revealing its cartilaginous structure and showcasing its elegant movement through the water. The vibrant colors and tropical climate of Raja Ampat add to the allure of this underwater scene. In this horizontal composition, there are no people present, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the world beneath the waves. This photograph not only celebrates biodiversity but also serves as a reminder of our planet's incredible marine life. As we gaze upon this large and graceful animal from above, we can't help but marvel at nature's wonders. Manta rays belong to the elasmobranch family and are closely related to devil rays and eagle rays. Their presence in these waters contributes to Indonesia's rich marine biology and showcases their importance within aquatic ecosystems. Steve Jones' skillful photography brings out every detail – from the animal's full length to its white coloration – making it impossible not to appreciate both its size and elegance. This stunning image invites us into a world where animals roam freely in their natural habitat, reminding us of our responsibility to protect these precious species for generations to come.
