An explosion of color, motion, and life painted on the canvas of our wonderful world. This is a section of the Great Barrier Reef off the eastern coast of Australia, captured through a 1200mm lens. I think even the great Impressionists would be awestruck with this natural display.

Awesome! It almost resembles a tree in an abstract sort of way with a 20-30 degree slant... Beautiful. Thank you!

Ive been lucky enough to meet a handful of astronauts! 9 of 10 mention the barrier reef as the most beautiful sight from orbit in all the world. No Doubt!

Ver esta foto es disfrutar de los colores y las formas de nuestro planeta. Es una inspiración para cualquier manifestación artística. Definitivamente la tierra es una obra maestra de Dios.
