Seahorses on Sea Fan in Night Light in along a coral wall with blue water beyond near Cairns

Seahorses on Sea Fan in Night Light

by Susan Vasquez

Pale, translucent seahorses cling tightly to the intricate, fan-like branches of a gorgonian coral. The marine wall rises vertically behind them, textured with small encrusting organisms. A sweeping beam of artificial light cuts through the dark blue water, illuminating the coral's orange and cream hues while the surrounding depths remain in shadow. Tiny white particles of plankton float in the air, creating a soft haze that diffuses the light. The wide panoramic view shows the stillness of the creatures against the vast, dark ocean. A faint reflection of the light beam shimmers on the water's surface near the coral's edge.
