EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment in the underwater world of the Solomon Islands.

The vibrant colors of the reef and the intricate details of both creatures create a stunning visual spectacle. Located in the eastern part of the Coral Triangle, this region is renowned for its rich marine biodiversity and breathtaking reefs.
