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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing transformation of a shipwreck into an artificial reef within Palau's inner lagoon. Serving as a testament to nature's resilience, this sunken vessel has become a haven for colonizing invertebrates and vibrant reef fish. Located in Micronesia's enchanting Palau region, this underwater paradise showcases the beauty of Waigeo Bay and its diverse marine biology. Amidst the backdrop of limestone formations and tropical climate, this image stands as a reminder of both the fragility and strength of our environment. As we face the challenges posed by climate change, it is crucial to appreciate how these artificial reefs contribute to preserving coral ecosystems within the Coral Triangle. This photograph encapsulates not only the natural wonders that lie beneath our oceans but also highlights humanity's role in protecting them. The presence of people in the background serves as a subtle reminder that exploration and discovery are integral parts of appreciating such breathtaking sights. Whether through snorkeling or wreck diving, individuals can immerse themselves in this aquatic wonderland. Ethan Daniels' skillful use of color imagery and fish-eye lens adds depth to this horizontal composition, enhancing its visual impact. This print invites viewers to marvel at both the wreckage itself and its newfound purpose as an underwater sanctuary—a true testament to nature's ability to reclaim even man-made structures for its own beauty.
