23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

Whale Shark's Got a Big Appetite and an Even Bigger Smile!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this incredible shot captured by renowned photographers Ron and Valerie Taylor, we witness the majestic VT-6280 (Whale Shark) in all its filter-feeding glory. With its mouth wide open, this gentle giant is on a mission to satisfy its enormous appetite amidst the vibrant tropical waters of Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia. As if straight out of a scene from Jaws (but without the danger!), our star showcases its impressive size as it engulfs gallons upon gallons of water teeming with tiny fish. The shark's jaws are stretched wide open like a welcoming smile, revealing rows of perfectly aligned teeth that play no role in capturing prey but instead serve as mere ornaments. With lips puckered and throat ready for action, this filter feeder demonstrates nature's ingenious design. Its colossal mouth acts as a living strainer, allowing only microscopic plankton to pass through while trapping any unsuspecting fish within its cavernous maw. This stunning photograph serves as a reminder of the awe-inspiring diversity found beneath the waves. So next time you find yourself snorkeling or diving in Australian waters, keep your eyes peeled for these magnificent creatures – they're sure to leave you speechless!
