EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment in the underwater world of West Papua. As the evening sun begins to set, its golden rays pierce through the water's surface, illuminating a magnificent sight below. A massive whale shark gracefully glides near the fishing platform, showcasing its sheer size and beauty. The image showcases a symbiotic relationship between this gentle giant and its surroundings. The whale shark swims effortlessly beneath the fishing net, while remoras attach themselves underneath its colossal body. This harmonious coexistence highlights nature's intricate web of connections. The vibrant blue hues of the ocean provide a stunning backdrop for this enchanting scene. The photographer skillfully captures every detail - from the rippled water surface to the shimmering sunlight that creates an ethereal sunburst effect around the shark. It is important to note that this species, Rhincodon typus, is considered endangered and vulnerable due to various threats it faces in its natural habitat. This photograph serves as a reminder of both their magnificence and their need for conservation efforts. Steve Jones' photography transports us into an awe-inspiring realm where marine life thrives in all its splendor. Through his lens, we gain insight into these fascinating creatures and are reminded of our responsibility to protect them for generations to come.
