Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.

Lost in the Depths - A Greenland Shark's Underwater Odyssey with a Unwanted Hitchhiker
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, we witness an extraordinary moment frozen in time beneath the icy waters of Lancaster Sound. A majestic Greenland shark gracefully glides through the dark depths, unaware of the tiny intruder clinging to its body. Meet Ommatokoita elongata, a parasitic copepod that has found an unlikely home on this enigmatic creature. As our eyes are drawn to the mesmerizing scene, we can't help but imagine what thoughts might be racing through these fascinating beings' minds. Is the shark aware of its uninvited guest? Or is it simply lost in its own mysterious world? The image evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue as we ponder what lies beyond our human realm. It reminds us that even in the darkest moments, there may be a glimmer of hope – just like the faint light at the end of a tunnel. Trapped below layers of ice and surrounded by cold waters, both predator and parasite navigate their way through this harsh Arctic environment. The contrasting shades of grey create an ethereal ambiance, emphasizing their isolation from humanity above. Franco Banfi's stunning photograph captures not only nature's beauty but also highlights how interconnected life can be – even when faced with torment or disorientation. So let us marvel at this snapshot from Nature Picture Library and appreciate Mother Nature's ability to surprise us with her wonders hidden beneath our very noses.
