EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Steve Jones showcases the mesmerizing beauty of an opisthobranch on volcanic sand in Papua New Guinea. The image captures a stunning blue and white gastropod, known as a nudibranch, gracefully crawling across the textured ocean floor. Set against the backdrop of Kimbe Bay's vibrant underwater world, this marine invertebrate stands out with its intricate natural patterns and magnified details. The photographer skillfully brings to life the wonders of sea life found in Papua New Guinea's Vitu Islands. With no people present, we are invited to immerse ourselves fully into this enchanting scene where science meets art. The extreme close-up shot allows us to appreciate every tubercle and contour on the opisthobranch's dorsum. As we delve deeper into this photograph, it becomes evident that nature is truly an artist itself. The contrasting colors of the opisthobranch against the black volcanic sand create a visually striking composition that highlights both its delicate features and resilience as a living organism. This image not only celebrates the diversity of species within our oceans but also serves as a reminder of their fragility amidst changing climates. Through Steve Jones' lens, we are transported to an underwater paradise brimming with wildlife waiting to be explored and protected for generations to come.
