EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring sight of a diver exploring the remains of the Lesleen M freighter, which was intentionally sunk in 1985 to create an artificial reef in Anse Cochon Bay, St. Lucia. The vibrant colors of the Caribbean sea and the overgrown coral surrounding the sunken wreck create a mesmerizing backdrop for this adventurous exploration. In this image, we see a brave diver waist up, peering through a window into the mysterious depths of the wreck. The natural light streaming in illuminates their silhouette against the backdrop of rusted metal and decaying structures. This photograph beautifully showcases both the beauty and decay that coexist within this underwater world. The Lesleen M freighter serves as a testament to man's ingenuity in repurposing objects for nature's benefit. As an artificial reef, it has become home to countless marine species, transforming what was once just another shipwreck into a thriving ecosystem teeming with life. Lisa Collins/Robert Harding skillfully captures not only this incredible moment but also conveys a sense of risk and discovery associated with wreck diving. Through her lens, she invites us to witness firsthand how nature reclaims what is left behind by humans while reminding us of our responsibility to protect these fragile ecosystems. This photograph is a stunning reminder that even amidst destruction and decay, there is always room for new life and adventure beneath our oceans' surface.
