Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.

Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this mind-boggling photo print, we witness the incredible talent of the Harlequin Crab as it masters the art of camouflage. With its vibrant brown hues perfectly mirroring its commensal host, a sea cucumber, this tiny arthropod becomes virtually invisible to predators. It's like witnessing a real-life magician performing an extraordinary trick! The tropical waters of Yap, Micronesia serve as the backdrop for this mesmerizing spectacle. As you gaze at this image, you can't help but marvel at nature's ingenuity and creativity. Who knew that such small creatures could possess such remarkable survival skills? This snapshot not only showcases the beauty of marine life but also highlights the fascinating concept of symbiosis. These crabs have found their perfect match in these sea cucumbers, forming an unlikely partnership that benefits both parties involved. So next time you find yourself exploring underwater wonders or playing hide and seek with friends, remember our little friend here – the Harlequin Crab! Its mastery over disguise will surely inspire awe and admiration among all who encounter it. Kudos to David Fleetham for capturing this magical moment from Mother Nature's playbook!
