Under the Sea
OK, not under...but I thought this little tide pool was interesting.

Rick,
Thje star fish really make this for me. You were lucky to get that water so still and you did a good job framing this tide pool.

HMMM,
I don't thing your going to print this one. Interesting but not to asthetic. I have shot many of these type shots on my annual trip to Vancouver Island. I quickly hit the delete key on every one of them. This is probably better that anything I ever captured.

I think it is very cool !! The mirror shape on each side of the water really helps and the boring (??) sky kept the reflection even. I think this is schweet ! :toast:

I like it, Rick - you've got a surprising amount of detail in the dark area of mussels at the top, and lots of sea life to make it interesting. Two suggestions I'd make are to crop the bottom off at the middle of the patch of seaweed to sharpen focus on the back of the tidepool, and pull back blue cast that shows up in the reflection in the top of the tidepool area.

Yeah, Tom has some good suggestions. Go for it!
