EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty of a Great Ramshorn Snail, scientifically known as Planorbarius corneus. The intricate details of this freshwater gastropod are brought to life, showcasing its unique features and fascinating behavior. In the image, one can observe a tube-like organ on the left side of the snail's head called a siphon. This remarkable adaptation allows the snail to filter nutrients from inflowing water, ensuring its survival in its natural habitat. The siphon serves as an essential tool for this adult animal to extract nourishment from its surroundings. The Great Ramshorn Snail is commonly found in European waters and is known for its distinctive spiral-shaped shell resembling a ram's horn. Its presence adds vibrancy to any aquatic ecosystem it inhabits. Photographer Gunter Fischer has skillfully captured this moment in nature, highlighting the snail's full length and providing us with a captivating side view underwater. With no people present in the frame, we are able to focus solely on appreciating the beauty and intricacy of this magnificent creature. This vertical color image showcases not only the aesthetic appeal but also offers insight into wildlife photography at its finest. It reminds us of our planet's diverse ecosystems and encourages us to appreciate and protect these incredible animals that exist alongside us.
