EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Matthew Ward showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a Siphonalia trochulus, commonly known as a hooped whelk shell. The image provides both an overhead and underside view, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail of this remarkable marine snail's home. The shell boasts a thick tall spiral structure with whorls adorned with delicate thin ribs. Its light brown stripes add a touch of elegance to its already stunning appearance. Through this studio shot, we are transported into the enchanting world beneath the sea where these molluscs reside. Invertebrates like gastropods and whelks often go unnoticed in our daily lives, but this photograph reminds us of their significance in the vast ecosystem that exists below the ocean's surface. The carefully captured details highlight not only their unique physical characteristics but also their importance as animals within our natural world. Matthew Ward's skillful composition allows us to admire two animals in one frame – the exquisite hooped whelk shell itself and its mysterious inhabitant, Siphonalia trochulus. As we explore each intricately formed whorl and trace our eyes along the elegant spiral shape, we can't help but marvel at nature's artistry. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) serves as a reminder of how even seemingly ordinary objects hold extraordinary beauty when seen through an artist's lens.
