Exposed

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted January 27, 201578 views2 comments
This is a starfish that is being exposed during lowtide on a sand bar in Jupiter Florida. Did a little B&W treatment - quality isn't superb because I shot this with a Nikon waterproof P&S (definitely a little soft in the ULC) but hey it's a really stress free photography experience when you are paddle boarding!

Edited in LR5 and Perfect Effects 8

I like the off center, close up comp, Luke, as well as the B&W processing which emphasizes the graphic star design. We don't get many starfish images in this gallery. Always great to see something unique. Thanks for sharing. :wavey:

From the thumb, I thought this was a macro shot of a frosted wheel hub. :biggrin: Neat catch on this starfish. Has me wondering if it survived.
