EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Mathieu Meur captures a mesmerizing moment in the depths of Cenderawasih Bay, West Papua, Indonesia.

As the gentle giant glides through the water, its head is beautifully reflected on the surface, creating an ethereal and otherworldly scene. The composition highlights the intricate details of this vulnerable species known as Rhincodon typus.

In this underwater paradise, we witness nature's delicate balance between humans and animals. In the background, people can be seen going about their daily activities while sharing space with these awe-inspiring creatures. It serves as a reminder that our actions have consequences for all living beings inhabiting our planet. Mathieu Meur's skillful photography transports us into an enchanting world where marine biology thrives beneath Southeast Asia's crystal-clear waters.
