High-contrast black-and-white photograph looking straight down over the Great Barrier Reef. Branching coral spreads through the shallows like dark ink bleeding into pale water, while deep channels fall into velvety near-black and sandbars glow bright white. Soft ripples catch the light across the surface, giving the whole scene the quiet drama of a living map.
