This is the aboral or upper surface of an ochre sea star.  I photographed this large specimen at an Oregon tide pool.  I figured that this one may fit the textures category of this week's challenge. K5 IIs 180 mm f3.5 (0.3 sec at f16, ISO 125)....................Jim

Jim, it certainly fits.  The color and textural details look great.  This must have been a huge sea star.  As a minor comment, there's a touch of turquoise tint in the oof areas near the top, that might be worth a color adjustment, but I do like this up-close view as presented.
