EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a scallop shell, specifically belonging to the species Mirapecten mirificus. With its striking black background, the shell takes center stage, highlighting its delicate details and elegant form. Measuring 37mm across, this single specimen is a testament to the wonders found in our oceans. The scallop shell's origins can be traced back to the Indo-Pacific region, where it thrives in marine environments. As a bivalve mollusk, it belongs to a diverse group of invertebrates known for their two-part shells. Its presence adds vibrancy and life to any aquatic ecosystem it inhabits. This stunning still life composition not only captures the essence of this particular mollusk but also serves as an ode to nature's remarkable creations. The meticulous cut-out technique used further emphasizes its biological significance while allowing us to appreciate every curve and ridge on its surface. Gilles Mermet from Science Photo Library skillfully immortalizes this scallop shell through his lens, inviting viewers into a world brimming with natural wonders. This photograph transcends mere documentation; it evokes curiosity about marine biology and encourages us to explore Southeast Asia's rich biodiversity.
