EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate beauty of a sea pen and triplefin blenny in their natural habitat. The image showcases a close-up view of the branching tentacles of a Virgularia sp. sea pen, adorned with vibrant colors that add to its allure. Resting gracefully on one of these branches is a triplefin blenny fish from the Tripterygiidae family, creating an enchanting scene. Sea pens are colonial soft coral organisms closely related to sea feathers, making them fascinating subjects for marine enthusiasts and biologists alike. This photograph was taken off Rinca Island in Komodo National Park, Indonesia, where the rich biodiversity of the ocean comes alive. The red hue of the sea pen's branch stands out against the backdrop of blue waters, highlighting its delicate structure and inviting exploration into its hidden world. The presence of this single triplefin blenny adds an element of life to this already mesmerizing composition. With every detail captured flawlessly by Georgette Douwma's lens, viewers can appreciate both the biological intricacies and aesthetic appeal found beneath the surface. This print serves as a reminder that our oceans hold countless wonders waiting to be discovered and protected.
