EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the delicate yet destructive nature of a crown-of-thorns starfish as it feeds on corals in Komodo National Park, Indonesia. Known for its high marine biodiversity, this part of the Coral Triangle is a haven for scuba divers and snorkelers seeking to explore the wonders beneath the surface. The image showcases the fragility of our environment and serves as a stark reminder of the impact climate change has on our oceans. The symbiotic relationship between corals and these starfish becomes evident, highlighting how even seemingly harmless creatures can pose a threat when their population surges. In this underwater wilderness, bathed in vibrant tropical hues, we witness an intricate ecosystem at play. The sharp spikes adorning the crown-of-thorns starfish serve as both protection and danger - protecting them from predators while posing a risk to coral reefs. Ethan Daniels' photography skillfully captures this bizarre creature amidst its feeding frenzy. With no people present in the frame, we are left solely with nature's beauty and complexity. This photograph invites us to contemplate not only the incredible diversity found within our oceans but also our responsibility to protect these fragile habitats. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, let us be reminded that every action counts towards preserving our precious marine ecosystems for generations to come.
