i come from the water

Excellent! Both beautiful and educational. Tomorrow in my bio class we'll be talking about Echinoderms. What a jewel this specimen is, and I will put a link to it in my powerpoint slides!

I've just found my way back here after not doing my photoblog rounds for probably 6 months. I've got a lot of catching up to do indeed! This picture reminds me why this is one of my very favorite photoblogs and why I still want that dangblasted coolpix 4500! Haha :)

great use of the selective focus. The colors make the photo though, the soft greys and blues...I'm a fan

That looks great, whenever I see contrast like that in nature I think of andy goldsworthy's art.

What an incredibly cool photo. Love the focus and textures. Is that it's mouth? Looks like something out of a horror movie.

Love these little animals. Your picture take me back to my childhood memories when I used to search them and play with them with my circle of friend of the sea side. Sweet past.

Ahhh NATURE !!!!!!!! Wonderful. It looks like it is covered in jewels. Interesting composition. Everything is pointing to the dark "hole". Amazing textures in the subject and the background.
