EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant beauty of an Orangestriped triggerfish as it gracefully feeds on a coral reef in the Andaman Sea, Thailand. The striking orange stripes that adorn its body make this fish truly stand out amidst the colorful backdrop of the tropical Indo-Pacific region.
