[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The snakelocks anemone (Anemonia viridis, formerly A. sulcata) is a sea anemone found in the eastern Atlantic ocean from Britain to the Mediterranean sea.

The tentacles of anemones in deep or murky water can be a grey colour but are otherwise usually a deep green colour with purple tips. This is due to the presence of symbiotic algae within the tentacles that use sunlight as an energy source. Since the anemones benefit from this they prefer brightly lit shallow waters.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakelocks_anemone



Anemonia sulcata est une espèce qui vit sur le fond (espèce benthique), dans les anfractuosités des rochers; sessile, son corps est directement fixé au support sans pédoncule, tout comme les anémones de mer tropicales. Elle affectionne, entre 0 et 50 mètres de profondeur, les milieux éclairés de l'étage infralittoral, en zone plutôt calme (le brassage en aquarium sera donc modéré). Elle ne résiste pas à l'émersion car elle ne supporte pas la dessiccation malgré une rétraction partielle de ses tentacules; une attente trop longue à l'air libre la tuera irrémédiablement. C'est une espèce caractérisée par de longs et nombreux tentacules (jusqu'à 192 pour le type sulcata, jusqu'à 384 pour le type viridis), peu rétractiles et disposés en six formations concentriques. La base (c.à.d. le pied) adhère parfaitement bien au substrat et est plus large que la colonne, laquelle demeure généralement enfouie jusqu'à la couronne tentaculaire. http://www.anemone-clown.fr/anemonia_sulcata.html

Hi Bima, wonderful shot of this sea anemone with nice colours. TFS. Regards,
Bahadır

Selam Yasin, splendid shot of this anemone with excellent details in spite you used a relatively long POV (1/10) for a relatively mobile animal. TFS.
Cheers,

Bayram

Hi Bima,
Nice to meet you and a belated welcome to TN.An interesting anemone and for some reason it reminds me of one of the characters in "The Muppets" :-) Good detail and DOF.......TFS.

Hi Bima,
A very nice study capture of the anemone. The compositon shows its motion with the way the tentacles are waving.I gues this was a lit up underwater scenario that you captured.The image is quite sharp and with good focus and clarity.Very well done.
Thanks for sharing
Cheers

This has come out really well Bima.
Its a little yellow due to the light,but quite sharp considering.
You did a good job.
Thankls for sharing.
Cheers,
Steve

Hello Bima,

Interesting pictue of this sea anemone. Excellent POV. Excellent sharpness. Beautiful composition and colours.
Cheers,
Mariki

Hi Bima,
Even if there was a glass between You and the sea anemone, this is a wonderful shot, quite clear and sharp. Great exposure, too. The only thing I should change (or better said I changed in the WS) is white balance, because the yellow is too much to my taste. But otherwise a top composition, congrats and tfs.
Best regards, László

Hi Bima,

Hello Bima,
Not many of us have the chance to take underwater photographs, so an aquarium photo is sometimes necessary in order to show certain species, like this fine capture of a Snakelocks Anemone. It is sharply shown from a fine POV with good lighting.
TFS this unusual image,
Ivan

Hello Bima !
Wow, this is a wonderful picture ! I love it ! The anemone looks gracious and elegant, and it stands out so nicely on the dark BG. Excellent details too, splendid composition and POV, and a very instructive note. Very well done !
Valerie.

Hi Bima, Good clear photo with excellent discriptive notes. These are not so easy to get a good composition such as this. TFS. Murray.

Yet another awesome shot,my friend!Did you go into the sea to click these wonderful shots?WOW!
very well done!
Goldy

Hi Bima.
Many thanks for visit and kind comments as well as for chance to meet your nice photos. I like excellent composition of the image, nice selection of the POV, perfect DOF and excellent details of the main subject and nice blurriness of the BG. I do not know if the colour palette and light are natural but they are so pleasant for look and nice. My best wishes and TFS.
Alexei.
