A bit noisy, but a nice picture under the light conditions you had.

You're kidding me, right Stephen??? 1/13 handheld????! Man, you must have a real steady hand! The picture is a little noisy, but that's normal under these conditions. I like the composition a lot and this sure is a different from average subject. Well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

As explained, conditions were difficult, but for 1/13 (I guess lens leaning on the glass), it's a very well stabilized image. Question of noise... it gives IMO an originality to this shot putting it as a kind of science-fiction image from a fifties magazine. The subject... a really great one!
Well done on the whole line, Stephen.

Hey, man, 1/13 handheld? Congratulations. By using such speed, I'm sure I would get a blur or something.

I do enjoy this shot. A pleasant picture with very nice mood and lighting.

Once more, congratulations.

This is amazing!
It looks like capture from some SF movie, not a photo of living crature.
As for such conditions this is even more amazing. Superb colours and light, great visual impact.
This is really special shot.
VERY WELL DONE!

Great shot Stephen especially considering that you shot it at ISO 1600! That's unexplored territory for me thus far..Great details and a very interesting shot with all those arms creating a "feast" for the eye..Well done!

Nice shot Steve, very well composed, I like the details and the colours. I agree with Pieter, you must have a very steady hand.... I can't never take any shot like this without tripod. Well done, thanks for sharing and have a great weekend. :)

Very nice shot Stephen, I've always thought this is a good name for this starfish, it does look brittle. Very nice composition and details. Nice work.

Great capture.
Fantastic details.
I love the arms of the star fish and the wiggly patterns they make, like something out of a science fiction movie
:)

Fun use of light and line here, Stephen! The star is almost in sillhouette, adding the emphasis to the lines it creates. There is noise here, but I'm not sure if its the water or the camera. Nice shot though.

This is a excellent example how to use ambient light to make a more than decent and most interesting capture. I love the background, full of OOF tentacles, enhancing the perpendicular main star :)
Great 1/13 handheld. TFS. A fav not only for skill but arty.

Hola Stephen: I had not been able to see this beautiful capture that your you have made, but today I found him in the general menu of TN. I don't know that to simply say, the composition catches me and each one of its tentacles invades my thought, me the fascinating encounter, without a doubt some one of my favorite ones. The colors and the perfect illumination, the shades to be enigmatic and fascinating. it is a picture to enjoy principle to end the image to leave a very pleasant sensation to the eyes. Congratulations. Cordial greetings. Happy Day of San Valentine. *Ninfa Urania*
