EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a trio of Lionfish (Pterois volitans) as they gracefully hunt above a vibrant reef in the Philippines. The Philippines, known for its rich marine biodiversity, serves as the perfect backdrop for these exotic creatures to display their striking colouration and conspicuous presence. The image showcases the intricate details of these deadly predators, with their dorsal spines and spiky fin rays adding an element of danger to their otherwise graceful appearance. Their pectoral fins fan out elegantly as they navigate through the crystal-clear waters, creating a surreal scene that is both strange and alluring. As invasive species in this region, Lionfish have become a cause for concern due to their potential impact on native fish populations. However, it's hard not to be captivated by their unique features and unusual characteristics. With striped patterns adorning their bodies and vibrant red hues accentuating their warning coloration, these fish are truly one-of-a-kind. David Fleetham's expert photography skills bring this underwater world to life, allowing us to appreciate the beauty that lies beneath the surface. This print serves as a reminder of both the fragility and resilience of our oceans' ecosystems while showcasing nature's ability to create such strange yet stunning creatures.
