This is a close-up of a tropical disk anemone. Macro always give me a different view of an animal. Hope this one works for you too.

Wonderfully colourful subject Des
Not quite sharp enough for me - looks like you've run out of DoF even at f16, which is a big shame because it's a super image and comp

The colours and composition are great, but as Andy said, it does seem to be lacking sharpness. However, because it's such an abstract image, I'd say it's still a keeper.
Cheers,

i like this a lot. personally i don't think the lack of dof detracts from it. rather it gives it a false sense of giganticness (word?) which i feel is sometimes the aim of macro work..to show how it feels to be that size.
does the anemone know it's captive?

Love the colours and the DOF issues don't really bother me with this crop!
