31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a high-pressure mealtime! This incredible photo captures the amazing skills of the Archer fish {Toxotes chatareus} as it jets water to catch a fly perched on vegetation above. It's like watching an underwater superhero in action! With its keen eyesight and precise aim, this captive Archer fish demonstrates its unique feeding behavior. Who needs a fishing rod when you can shoot water from your mouth? This clever predator uses its specialized mouth muscles to create a powerful jet of water, knocking down unsuspecting insects for lunch. The Archer fish's ability to accurately target prey is truly impressive. Just imagine being that fly, minding your own business on some leaves, only to be suddenly drenched by an unexpected shower from below! It's safe to say this little insect never saw it coming. Whether in freshwater or marine environments, these vertebrates have perfected their predation techniques over time. Their natural instincts and agility make them formidable hunters among other osteichthyes species. Kim Taylor has captured a moment that showcases both the beauty and ingenuity of nature. From the vibrant colors of the fish to the mesmerizing arc of water mid-flight, this photograph is proof that even underwater creatures can amaze us with their remarkable abilities. So next time you're feeling thirsty or craving some excitement during mealtime, just remember: there's always an Archer fish out there who knows how to make quite a splash!
