EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Sergio Hanquet showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a wide-eyed flounder (Bothus podas) in its natural habitat off the coast of Tenerife, Canary Islands. The portrait captures the unique characteristic of this ray-finned fish, with its eyes positioned above its head, giving it an extraordinary appearance. The wide-eyed flounder belongs to the family Bothidae and is also known as lefteye flounder due to its left eye migrating to the right side during development. Its scientific name, Bothus podas, reflects its distinct features and distinguishes it from other similar species like Rhombus heterophthalmus and Rhombus maderensis. In this close-up shot, we are drawn into the intricate details of this flatfish's face. Its large round eyes seem to be staring directly at us, creating a sense of connection between viewer and subject. The vibrant colors and patterns on its body blend seamlessly with the surrounding oceanic environment. As a member of Pleuronectiformes order, which includes various species of flatfishes found worldwide, this wide-eyed flounder thrives in temperate saltwater environments such as the Atlantic Ocean. It gracefully glides through underwater currents while adapting to life on sandy or muddy seabeds. Sergio Hanquet's skillful photography allows us to appreciate not only the stunning aesthetics but also gain insight into these fascinating creatures that inhabit our oceans. This image serves as a reminder of nature's incredible diversity and reminds us to cherish and protect these fragile ecosystems for future generations.
