EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Matthew Ward showcases the intricate beauty of a Sunburst star turban shell (Astraea heliotropium). The image captures both the top and underside view of the shell, as well as the outer side of its operculum. Against a clean white background, this studio shot allows every detail to shine through. The spiral shape of the shell is mesmerizing, drawing our eyes towards its spiked texture and rich brown hues. As we explore further, we are fascinated by the sea life that resides within this mollusc. The operculum adds an extra layer of interest with its unique patterns and textures. Displayed in a horizontal format, three objects are perfectly aligned directly above one another. This composition creates a sense of balance and harmony within the frame. With no people present in this image, our focus remains solely on these stunning natural wonders. Next to each other but distinct in their features, these Turbinidae shells belong to Astraea heliotropium species - commonly known as Sunburst star turban shells. Their name aptly describes their radiant appearance that resembles bursts of sunlight. Matthew Ward's photograph offers us an upward view into this enchanting world beneath the waves. It reminds us of nature's incredible diversity and invites us to appreciate even its smallest marvels.
