EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of nature's reclamation as it showcases the coral encrusted stern of the Japanese Cross Wreck. Resting peacefully on the ocean floor, this sunken World War II battleship now serves as an enchanting underwater habitat in Manokwari, West Papua, Indonesia. The image transports us into a world filled with aquatic wonders and mysterious allure. The vibrant colors and horizontal composition draw our eyes to the reef-covered wreckage, evoking a sense of curiosity and adventure. An unrecognizable diver in the distance adds scale to this vast undersea landscape while reminding us of humanity's connection to history. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we can't help but feel a mix of fascination and melancholy. The rusty and damaged remnants tell tales of misfortune and tragedy from bygone eras. Yet amidst these reminders lie signs of growth; sea life thrives among the corroded remains, creating an artificial reef that breathes life into its surroundings. Steve Jones skillfully captures both the fragility and resilience found within this ecosystem. Through his lens, we witness how time has transformed a once mighty nautical vessel into a haven for marine creatures. This poignant image reminds us that even in times marked by destruction, nature finds ways to reclaim what was lost – turning tragedy into breathtaking beauty beneath Southeast Asia's azure waters.
