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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant beauty of the Coral cod, also known as Cephalopholis miniata, gracefully positioned in front of a magnificent sea fan. As a type of grouper, this marine predator is renowned for its hunting prowess and striking appearance. With depths reaching up to 150 meters in tropical waters across the Indo-Pacific region, it has established itself as an apex predator. Measuring approximately 40 centimeters in length, the Coral cod primarily preys on small shoaling fish while occasionally indulging in crustaceans. Its carnivorous nature makes it an essential component of the underwater ecosystem, maintaining balance and diversity within its habitat. The sea fan featured in this photograph serves as both a breathtaking backdrop and a vital colony for filter-feeding organisms. Resembling coral formations, these delicate structures play a crucial role by filtering nutrients from passing currents. Captured amidst the enchanting Andaman Sea located off Thailand's coast, this image encapsulates the wonders that lie beneath our planet's surface. It invites us to appreciate not only the intricate beauty of marine life but also their ecological significance. Presented by Science Photo Library with no commercial intent mentioned or implied, this awe-inspiring snapshot transports us into an underwater realm where nature thrives undisturbed. Let yourself be immersed in this visual journey through time and space—a testament to Earth's mesmerizing biodiversity found beneath its vast oceans.
