Wide reef landscape

  • Reef
  • Wide-angle

A wide reef organised around a sand channel, with mound corals and sea rods on both sides and small fish above. Foreground, mid-channel and hazy background lost warm colour by different amounts.

FiveMeters restoration of Wide reef landscape: Pale sand channel and ochre corals recover while distant reef cools into blue haze.

What FiveMeters recovered

The channel returns to pale sand; nearby corals regain ochre, tan and brown; sea rods darken naturally. Striped fish recover yellow against black bands as the far reef cools.

Still visible

Distant reef contrast stays limited by visibility. The smallest fish remain silhouettes; modest source resolution is not artificially sharpened.
