EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of a Black-finned snake eel emerging from the depths of volcanic black sand in Komodo National Park, Indonesia. The image showcases the unique beauty and biodiversity found underwater, as this highfin snake eel gracefully makes its way through the tropical climate. In this color image taken by Steve Jones, we witness nature's wonders unfold with no human presence. The Ophichthus melanochir, also known as the Black-finned snake eel or lesser sunda islands, is showcased in all its glory against a backdrop of crystal-clear waters. The vertical composition allows us to appreciate every detail of this magnificent creature. Its slender body and sinuous movement are characteristic of anguilliformes fish species. As it emerges from its burrow in search of prey or shelter, we catch a glimpse of its headshot – an intense close-up revealing piercing eyes that seem to hold secrets within their dark pupils. This photograph not only highlights the incredible diversity found in our oceans but also reminds us of the delicate balance between predator and prey. It serves as a reminder that even amidst danger and uncertainty, life finds a way to thrive beneath the surface. Steve Jones' skillful photography transports us into an enchanting world where sea life flourishes undisturbed by human interference. It is a testament to both his talent behind the lens and Mother Nature's awe-inspiring creations.
