EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by David Fleetham showcases the mesmerizing beauty and power of Blacktip Reef Sharks, Carcharhinus melanopterus, in their natural habitat off the island of Yap, Micronesia. As these magnificent creatures cruise gracefully along the surface of the Pacific Ocean, they are accompanied by their counterparts - gray reef sharks, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos. The contrasting black coloration of these sharks against the vibrant blue ocean creates a striking visual spectacle. With their large size and predatory nature, they exude an air of danger and menace that is synonymous with these apex predators. Their cartilaginous bodies effortlessly navigate through the water with a horizontal elegance that is both awe-inspiring and intimidating. However, despite their formidable appearance, it's important to note that these sharks are not as hazardous as they may seem. Contrary to popular belief, they pose no harm to humans unless provoked or threatened. In fact, they play a vital role in maintaining balance within marine ecosystems by controlling populations of smaller fish species. David Fleetham's expert underwater photography captures this split-second moment where we can appreciate the majesty and gracefulness of these creatures while also acknowledging their deadly potential. This stunning image serves as a reminder of our planet's diverse marine life and encourages us to protect and preserve our oceans for future generations to enjoy.
