EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing underwater scene at the Cod Hole in the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia. The focal point of the image is a magnificent Potato cod (Epinephelus tukula) gracefully being cleaned by a diligent cleaner wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus). The vibrant colors of this photograph bring to life the beauty and diversity found within this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Potato cod, also known as potato grouper or potato bass, stands out with its impressive size and striking appearance. As it hovers effortlessly in the crystal-clear waters, it allows the tiny cleaner wrasse to meticulously remove parasites from its scales. This symbiotic relationship between these two species showcases nature's delicate balance and interdependence. The Cod Hole is renowned for its abundance of marine life, making it a sought-after travel destination for divers and nature enthusiasts alike. In this horizontal image captured during daylight hours, we witness an intimate moment between these fascinating creatures without any human presence. Louise Murray/Robert Harding skillfully portrays the underwater world through their lens, highlighting not only the intricate details of these animals but also emphasizing their natural habitat. This stunning photograph serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve such fragile ecosystems for future generations to admire and cherish.
