Praise for Man and Sea:

Mr. Skerrys Technicolor image of hard corals on the Kingman Reef far out in the Pacific and Mr. Bertrands shot of the pale sand of Whitsunday Island near the Great Barrier Reef are cool and timeless portraits of treasures we might easily think limitless. The Editors, Wall Street Journal
