EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of nature's underwater realm. Titled "Brittlestars on soft coral" it captures a moment of harmony between two distinct species - Brittlestars (Ophiothrix sp. spiny) and acoel flatworms (Waminoa sp. red) - as they thrive on soft coral off Rinca island in Komodo National Park, Indonesia. The image transports us to the depths of the ocean, where vibrant hues and intricate details come together to create an awe-inspiring sight. The delicate branches of the soft coral provide a stunning backdrop for these fascinating creatures to flourish. With their long, slender arms gracefully entwined around the coral, the brittlestars exhibit their remarkable adaptability and symbiotic relationship with their environment. Meanwhile, scattered among them are the striking red acoel flatworms, adding a pop of color against the backdrop of blue waters. These tiny organisms play an essential role in maintaining ecological balance within this marine ecosystem. Photographer Georgette Douwma has expertly captured this snapshot from beneath the waves, offering us a glimpse into an enchanting world that exists below sea level. This photograph not only celebrates biodiversity but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve these fragile ecosystems for future generations to marvel at.
