EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of gantry gear on the deck of the Lesleen M, a freighter that was intentionally sunk in 1985 to create an artificial reef off Anse Cochon Bay in St. Lucia, West Indies. The vibrant colors and sunken remains provide a stunning contrast against the backdrop of the Caribbean Sea. As nature takes its course, this once bustling ship has become a haven for marine life and an underwater paradise. The overgrown coral reefs have transformed it into a thriving ecosystem where various species find shelter and sustenance. This image showcases the beauty and resilience of nature as it reclaims man-made structures. The horizontal composition allows us to fully appreciate the scale and intricate details of this undersea wonderland. With no human presence in sight, we are reminded of how animals thrive in their natural habitat without interference from our world above. Lisa Collins/Robert Harding's photography skillfully captures both the grandeur and fragility of this artificial reef. It serves as a reminder that even amidst destruction, new life can emerge, offering hope for conservation efforts worldwide.
