The Moon Jelly by Ann Arthur
Captured at the Georgia Aquarium, this striking image of the Aurelia Aurita, or moon jellyfish, highlights the creature's ethereal beauty. The photographer was captivated by the jellyfish's ability to shift from translucent white to vibrant pink and orange hues based on its diet. By utilizing a precise 1/15 second exposure, the photographer successfully rendered the delicate, glowing anatomy of the subject against the dark aquatic backdrop. This photograph is award-worthy for its ability to transform a scientific subject into a surreal, painterly composition, showcasing the hidden, colorful wonders of marine life through a unique and observant lens.
