EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing eyes of a white mantis shrimp in Indonesia. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this creature's eyes are truly awe-inspiring. Known for having the most sophisticated ophthalmic system in the animal kingdom, the mantis shrimp possesses compound eyes that allow it to perceive an extensive range of colors and detect polarized light. In this horizontal, color image taken outdoors during daylight hours, we get a close-up view of the front-facing gaze of this remarkable sea creature. With no humans present, we can fully appreciate its unique features without any distractions. The underwater setting adds to the mystique, as we witness this solitary animal in its natural habitat. The sandy burrow where this mantis shrimp resides is visible in the background, reminding us of its preference for sheltered environments. As one of nature's wonders, these marine crustaceans play a crucial role in maintaining balance within their ecosystem. Photographer Brent Barnes has skillfully captured every detail with his macro lens expertise. This photograph not only highlights the beauty and complexity found beneath our oceans but also serves as a reminder that there is still so much to discover about our planet's diverse wildlife.
