The Great Barrier Reef stretches for more than 1,250 miles in a graceful crescent along Australia's northeast coast. Doubilet has dived along its length from north to south and has, over time, made a rare photographic portrait of its beauty and complex web of life. The book is richly illustrated with more than 135 photographs, accompanied by essays by Doubilet

Not Doubilet's Best Work...But Still Good,
By Ken Mark (London, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Great Barrier Reef (National Geographic insight) (Hardcover)
Doubilet's latest book, 'Great Barrier Reef' (GBR) is disappointing when compared to his 'Water Light Time' masterpiece. But then, I consider 'Water Light Time' to be the BEST photography book...period. I might have had unfair expectations. In GBR, one sees the same picture composition over and over again (coral in foreground, diver above). The same colour combinations (yellow-coloured coral - yet again!). To me, the shots lack Doubilet's creativity...there is nothing NEW in the pictures. No new angles. No new techniques used. Compare Doubilet's earlier work with the previously mentioned 'Water Light Time' book and you will see how he continued to set new standards book after book. Maybe this time, the reef did not allow for any better pictures...who knows? The photographs look as if they could have been taken by any one of a hundred lesser skilled underwater photographers. To think that I did not hesitate to buy GBR, believing that it would at least meet the high standards Doubilet had set for himself...
