A beautiful Echinaster specimen captured just outside of its natural environment Joe, displaying its aboral side in fine colour and detail against the wet, rocky substratum. Thanks for sharing this nice and razor-sharp image my friend, hope you released the echinoderm back into its habitat after photographing it...

Thats a pretty intense red colour Joe. I'd almost call it 'brick red'.
You've managed great DOF in this shot.
Perfect exposure and sharpness.
An awesome shot.
Great work mate!
Cheers

hello Joe,
These creatures are really something special, in my youth I used to have one as decoration in my room! Perfect presentation of this fierly specimen, all in focus and shown with perfect sharpness. Yesterday I wanted to write a critique on the Aurora butterfly and the picture disappeared.. it was also a beautiful picture.
Have a nice afternoon

Kewl...very very much so..I have only seen them "dried"...in stores or on the beach, but never as this...it is a true classic which is the theme I have added it to joey. You are a humble young man with much intellect!

Hi Joe

What happened with your other butterfly macro? Just as i wanted to add my comment to it i got a message that it wasn't there any more...

Anyway, this is really a superb capture, as well!
The vibrant red color of this starfish is amazing and stands out so well, even from the thumbnail.
The details are very neat and sharp and i'm actually a bit amazed that you used your long macro lens to capture this big fellow :) Well anyway, the bottom line is that you managed a super shot of an animal we get to see very little of here on TN.

Bravo and TFS
