Lionfish or Pterois Miles, Ocean Reef Fish Round Pillow
A shaft of sunlight pierces the blue water, illuminating a vibrant coral reef teeming with life. Sunlight dances on the surface, creating a shimmering path across the turquoise sand that slopes gently upwards towards the left. In the foreground, colourful corals jut out from the seabed, like miniature, living tents in shades of green, blue, and yellow. Off to the right, the turquoise sand gives way to a deeper section of the reef, where the water transitions to a mesmerizing blue. --- The scene's undisputed star is a Pterois miles, also known as a lionfish, its body a canvas of bold stripes – red, maroon, white, and brown. It glides gracefully through the water, its side facing the viewer. Its elaborate pectoral fins, reminiscent of a feathered wing, fan out with each measured stroke. But beneath this captivating beauty lies a predator. Venomous spines protrude from its dorsal fin, a silent warning to any potential prey. The lionfish's gaze, fixed on something unseen beyond the frame, hints at its constant vigilance in this underwater world. --- The name Pterois miles is a fascinating echo of this creature's unique form and presence. "Ptero" comes from the Greek word for "wing," a fitting reference to its spectacular pectoral fins. "Miles," on the other hand, is Latin for "soldier," perhaps inspired by the bold stripes that adorn its body, reminiscent of a military uniform. --- As the sunlight plays hide-and-seek with the coral formations, casting fleeting shadows, the Pterois miles continues its silent ballet. This vibrant tableau captures the delicate balance and mesmerizing beauty of the coral reef ecosystem, with the lionfish serving as both a captivating resident and a reminder of the delicate balance at play beneath the waves. --- The photographer Alexander Vasenin put this image into Creative Commons "CC BY-SA".

Brushed Polyester Round Throw Pillow 41 x 41 cm

I am pleased with this product, although there are a few minor points. It seems the fabric weaves are a bit large, which means the details of any text based photo will become slightly blurry. I'm not sure if this is printer related, but rather trying to print on the particular type of material. The zipper and seams were well made, and the prints were equal on both sides. The pillow circumference is not perfectly smooth, there are ridges (as seen in the stock photos). I did find my pillow didn't have the most even distribution of polyester, such that the top half was very round and lovely, but the bottom end had more kinds and could do with more stuffing (which I think I can easily do!). The colours came out as expected and quiet lovely. However the main focal point of the pillow (a vector black text image) was printed slightly blurry. The background colours and textures were true to the design. Reminder: Always expect less vibrancy than what is seen on the screen.
