EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant beauty of the Red Sea's Gulf of Aqaba, specifically on the reefs of Sharm El Sheik. The focal point is a mesmerizing Pterois, commonly known as a butterfly fish. Its striking appearance immediately captivates viewers with its vivid colors and delicate patterns. However, beneath this enchanting exterior lies a hidden danger - this particular species is highly poisonous. Taken in Egypt in 1987 by Quilici Folco, this photograph serves as a reminder that nature often conceals unexpected surprises. The contrasting elements showcased within this image symbolize the duality found in many aspects of life itself; where something can be visually stunning yet potentially harmful. The underwater world depicted here invites us to explore and appreciate its wonders while reminding us to approach it with caution and respect. It reminds us that even amidst breathtaking beauty, there may be hidden dangers lurking beneath the surface. Quilici Folco's skillful composition allows for an immersive experience into the depths of these Egyptian waters. The clarity and precision captured in every detail transport viewers to another realm altogether – one filled with awe-inspiring marine life and intricate coral formations. This print from Alinari not only showcases nature's artistic prowess but also serves as a valuable educational tool about marine biodiversity. It encourages us to delve deeper into understanding various species' characteristics beyond their aesthetic appeal alone. In conclusion, this timeless photograph encapsulates both allure and peril through its depiction of the Red Sea's Gulf of Aqaba. Quilici Folco masterfully captures the essence of nature’s contradictions by showcasing an exquisitely beautiful yet venomous Pterois butterfly fish against a backdrop teeming with life on Sharm El Sheik's reefs.
