This is a fabulous image! And very interesting from a biological point of view. It is very difficult to photograph moist, slimy objects without a lot of nasty reflections and burn-out. Here you have succeeded very well. More info as to where and how you took this image would add to your very good note.

Wow Michal, this is excellent. What a good macro, showing all the sticky colourful bits of the Spiny starfish. And interesting notes too, TFS.

Hi Michal.
I like very much this one.
It looks great, I can see the textures perfectly, beautiful transparencies, colours and looks very natural and moody.
If you did not crop very much and still have resolution a close up would be great for another post.
Thanks for posting and for the useful info.

Czesc Michale!

Coz to za potwor tym razem ;-) Rewelacyjne zdjecie - bardzo podoba mi sie kompozycja i pomysl. Szczegolowe, ostre, dobrze nasycone kolory, ale przede wszystkim ciekawy zwierz :-) Te 'palce' przypominaja mi cos, co mi sie ostatnio zaleglo w akwarium ;-)

Great colours and sharpness. However I'm would be afraid to get such close-up of such dangerous species :-)
Best wishes,

Very interesting close-up!

Sharpness and exposure are excellent. It's a chance that you mention it's a starfish, because that close it could be a lot of different subjects. But as you title suggest, the stickiness is very well represented.
Good job and TFS.

Hi Michal,
Perfect composition, much like a still life. Marvellous colour contrast, the intense orange colour contrasting with deep blue bg. Yes, these starfishes are fascinating. I am particularly impressed how they can change from bilateral symmetry in their larval form into fivefold symmetry in adults. Does the future of all life forms reside in higher symmetry ? And then it's so fascinating to see how they crawl around in time lapse documentation.
TFS, Patrick

Hello Cedryk,
Beautiful photo of a "rare thing", had not imagined to me that they could exist. The details and colors are majestic. Pretty composition and excellent note.
