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.

Flamingo Tongue Cowries and their Sea Fan Feast - A Colorful Caribbean Delight!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this vibrant underwater scene, we witness a fascinating interaction between two stunning creatures of the Caribbean sea. The photo captures a pair of Flamingo tongue cowries gracefully perched on a common sea fan, which they prey upon in East End, Grand Cayman. With its striking blue and orange patterned shell resembling the delicate feathers of a flamingo's tongue, the Flamingo tongue cowry steals the spotlight. These beautiful mollusks belong to the family ovulidae and are known for their predatory nature. Meanwhile, the common sea fan stands tall as an exquisite soft coral species called Gorgonia ventalina. Its purple hue adds another layer of visual splendor to this already breathtaking composition. As these two marine marvels come together in perfect harmony, it is impossible not to be captivated by their colorful display against the backdrop of crystal-clear waters. This snapshot showcases both the incredible biodiversity hotspot that is the Caribbean Sea and highlights how intricate ecosystems like coral reefs support countless life forms. Kudos to photographer Alex Mustard for capturing this mesmerizing moment where beauty meets survival beneath our oceans' surface!
