EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Eye of Ray (Batoidea) with light-blocking eyelid, close up" by Frank Greenaway from Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us into the mesmerizing world of marine life. The image showcases the intricate and awe-inspiring eye of a Ray, a cartilaginous fish known for its unique adaptations. In this close-up shot, we are drawn to the striking pattern and mottled colors that adorn the iris of the Ray's eye. The front view allows us to appreciate the complexity and beauty of its anatomy, highlighting how nature has perfected this organ for sight and vision underwater. One remarkable feature captured in this photograph is the presence of a light-blocking eyelid. This adaptation enables Rays to regulate their exposure to light while swimming through different depths in their aquatic habitat. It serves as an essential form of protection for their sensitive eyes against excessive brightness or harmful rays. The image not only celebrates the incredible diversity found within our oceans but also reminds us of the fascinating ways in which animals have evolved to survive and thrive in their environments. Through Greenaway's skillful photography, we gain a deeper appreciation for these elusive creatures' senses and abilities. With its square composition and vibrant colors, this artwork invites viewers into an enchanting underwater realm where wildlife flourishes undisturbed by human interference. It serves as a reminder that there is still so much left unexplored beneath our planet's surface – a testament to both nature's resilience and our ongoing curiosity
