17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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.

Underwater Extravaganza - Hooded Nudibranchs Show Off Their Planktonic Catching Skills!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by David Hall, we are transported to the enchanting depths of Queen Charlotte Strait in British Columbia. Here, a group of fascinating hooded nudibranchs (Melibe leonina) proudly display their unique oral hoods designed for catching planktonic prey. These vibrant sea slugs can often be found clinging to the majestic bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana), creating a mesmerizing sight against the backdrop of the Pacific Northwest. With their yellow-green and brown algae companions, they form an underwater symphony of colors and textures. As members of the mollusc family, these lion-like nudibranchs effortlessly navigate through marine algae forests, showcasing their intricate beauty. The laminariales seaweed provides them with both shelter and sustenance in this thriving ecosystem. David Hall's remarkable photograph captures not only the natural wonders beneath our oceans but also highlights the diversity and resilience of marine life. These invertebrates remind us that even within seemingly ordinary creatures lie extraordinary stories waiting to be discovered. So dive into this stunning image and let your imagination swim alongside these hooded nudibranchs as they gracefully explore their aquatic playground. It's a snapshot that reminds us just how awe-inspiring nature truly is!
