EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Steve Jones captures a mesmerizing underwater scene in the Solomon Islands. In this image, we are transported to the depths of Marovo Lagoon where crinoids have found an unlikely home on a piece of wreckage from a tragic shipwreck. These delicate echinoderms, also known as feather stars or sea lilies, attach themselves to the rusty remnants of a Japanese maru that now rests at the bottom of the Indo Pacific Ocean. The vibrant colors and intricate details showcased in this photograph highlight the resilience and beauty of these living organisms. As filter feeders, they form colonies on the artificial reef created by this sunken vessel, creating an oasis for marine life amidst tragedy. The composition allows us to appreciate both nature's ability to adapt and thrive even in damaged environments and our own fascination with exploring underwater worlds. This image serves as a reminder of how human actions can unintentionally create new habitats for sea creatures while also reminding us of our responsibility to protect these fragile ecosystems. With no people present in the frame, we are invited to immerse ourselves fully into this serene moment captured by Steve Jones' lens. The horizontal orientation further enhances our connection with this submerged world, inviting us to dive deeper into its mysteries.
