EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Frank Greenaway captures the essence of nature's peculiar beauty. In this image, we are presented with a unique perspective on the hermit crab (Pagurus bernhardus), as it is captured underwater without its protective shell. The sharp details and contrasting white background bring out the intricate features of this crustacean. The motion in the photograph suggests that this hermit crab is actively exploring its surroundings, showcasing its pointed abdomen and bizarre appearance. The absence of a shell highlights themes of homelessness and vulnerability, reminding us of the fragility inherent in animal behavior. Shot in a studio setting, this vertical composition allows for a low angle view that emphasizes the crab's claw and showcases its softness amidst an otherwise rugged exterior. The gravel surrounding it adds texture to the image while symbolizing potential problems faced by sea life. Greenaway skillfully portrays both ugliness and beauty within this single animal, evoking contemplation about our own perceptions of aesthetics. This thought-provoking photograph invites viewers to reflect on protection, fragility, and animal themes without any human presence disturbing their introspection
