EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Mathieu Meur captures the awe-inspiring presence of an oceanic blacktip shark in its natural habitat off the coast of South Africa. The image showcases the sheer power and grace of this magnificent creature as it glides effortlessly through the crystal-clear waters of Aliwal Shoal, Umkoms. The striking blue background serves as a perfect canvas for this mesmerizing scene, allowing us to fully appreciate the intricate details of both the shark and its accompanying remora. As a threatened species, these sharks play a vital role in marine biology and serve as a reminder of our responsibility to protect their fragile ecosystem. In this symbiotic relationship between predator and hitchhiker, we witness nature's delicate balance at work. The remora clings steadfastly to the shark's body, benefiting from its host's movements while providing cleaning services in return. With no people in sight, this photograph immerses us into an underwater world teeming with life and motion. It reminds us that beneath the surface lies a realm filled with wonder and danger alike. Mathieu Meur has skillfully captured not only an extraordinary moment but also evokes curiosity about these elusive creatures that inhabit our oceans. This print is sure to captivate any viewer who appreciates wildlife photography and seeks to explore Earth's vast aquatic wonders.
