EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Bengal cone shell, scientifically known as Conus bengalensis. Against a pristine white background, this shell stands out with its intricate patterns and stunning coloration. Measuring an impressive 106mm in length, it is a testament to the wonders found within our oceans. However, behind its alluring appearance lies a dangerous secret. Cone shells like this one are venomous predators that pose a threat to humans. Found primarily in Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean, these molluscs have earned their reputation as formidable creatures of the sea. In this still life composition, we can appreciate the delicate details of this marine gastropod mollusc. Its predatory nature is evident through its sharp shape and structure designed for capturing prey. This photograph serves as a reminder of both the beauty and potential danger that exists beneath the ocean's surface. Gilles Mermet skillfully captures not only the aesthetic appeal but also provides valuable insight into biology and zoology through his lens. The image invites us to explore further into marine biology while admiring nature's incredible creations.
