Insane color combination created by nature. The textures are awesome and I like the hint of water in the lower left

Wonderful kaleidoscope of colors and textures in this one scene, Ronald. A super display of sea life and or crustaceans. :cool:

I agree with the other comments. Very nice image of a tidal pool. One nit: probably Olympic National Park unless either Mt. Rainier or Ruby Beach have moved.

Although Ruby Beach did, for a short time, reside in Rainier, it is now back in Olympic where it belongs. Sorry about that.

I love the colors and textures, as Luke mentioned. The only minor nit I can see is that given the invitation for the eye to roam and appreciate textures, the upper left is in a slightly different focal plane.

Slimy goodness, both in terms of colour and texture. :toast:

Great contrasting colors & interest, nice detail Ron.
Good job composing this, with the orange starfish the focal point :toast:
