interessant Louis ! c'et vrai qu'elle n'est pas clair a 100% mais c'est sympa!

Louis: Merci pour la vision claire que vous avez. Vous ne buvez pas le vin plus ? Ma sympathie. Cela est pourquoi vous êtes si froid.

Well done, I would say, given that you had to shoot through water. I love the colors.

Louis: Thank you Clint

brilliantly done

Louis: Thanks, one of these days i'll be as good as you (borrow your models?)

very well don "Oom" Louis! Difficult to get right so yes; "not too bad at all". Nice subject and colour and well cpmposed. Many regards, Neil.

Louis: Thanks for the comment - if the pom gets too loud, ask him about the cricket - theirs, not ours

i love the red core and the purpley blue tentacles.

Louis: Thanks - you want to wear it? It will be a bit small to put on, but maybe you can do one on each ear

Magical!

Louis: Nogal from Kathu - should of guessed it (or seen it before). Thought you are in Pta with HO. Thanks for the comment.

Zulk een moois op slechts kniediepte. Je woont in een mooi land Louis.
Heb je nog wat meer potretten?
Groet.

GL@

Louis: Dag lieve Giep - dat van de mooie land is de hele waarheid. Watvoor portretten had je ingedagten? Groet ook daar.

nice capture, funny creature

Louis: Thank you Chantal - how will you cast it in the light box?

You actually have brilliantly captured the phosphorescence of this sea creature, Louis. It's like a miracle!!

Louis: It is only after i saw your comment that i noticed there is a slight red glow on the sea-bed below the anemone. The red inner part must be reflecting the sun (it was a clear day). Thanks for the comment.

Works for me!

Louis: Thank you Josie

Very interesting, mainly knowing that it is on the coast foot! You did it over the water or with a subaqueous camera? Me gusta mucho como has tratado el marco !!

Louis: Tomé la foto de encima del agua. La armazón es mi primera prueba. Pienso que es agradable para esta foto. No trabaja con todos retratos.

i would suggest not to stand in your fish tank louis just to measure the depth. nice colours

Louis: If i want to do that i will have to buy a fish tank first Thanks for the comment - you are a bit low key nowadays. I will have to consider cutting time with sc as well.

beauté sous-marine. magnifique

Louis: Vous remercier monsieur de la Plume. Il y a la vraie beauté dans certaines des mares de rocher.

Not bad at all indeed. I bet even water motion in "front" of it would have had a very interesting effect. BTY, how can they let you step in a pool with anemones?

Louis: Who is 'they' that will stop me? Samira, i really had a good chuckle at the thought. What you should understand is that we have thousands of kilometres of coast line. Many parts of the coast line has rock outcroppings that go right into the sea. Rock pools are formed in this way - a hundred metre stretch of rocky coast line can have as many pools.

Depending on the area you are in you can find real beauty like this anemone, squid, shell crabs, shells, sea slugs, little fish. The pools closer to the waves holds more life forms.

The only coast line laws are 1) no 4x4 vehicles 2) catching some critters are licensed - like crayfish 3) parts of the coastline are nature reserves and preservation rules apply there.

That part about the motion blur

I think that it is excelent considering the slow shutter speed, I'm sure that there was movement in the tenticles, so a great shot. Mal

Louis: Thank you Mal - the tentacles move slowly in the current. But i think the angle of the water surface to the lens create a false impression of the focus point

Louis, I like everything about this picture. First off I like the frame and the 3-d effect. Then I like the sea anemone, the colours are really beautiful and you've got lovely detail too. I'm not altogether sure how difficult it is to get pictures through salt water, but I'd reckon it can be quite difficult.

Is that a snail/mollusc of some sort on the left?

Louis: The thing on the left has a snail like thing in it - don't know the kind. In the depth i am out of my depth. I think you are using your reference framework for UK coast lines. In SA you can have absolute clarity in these rock pools, provided there is no foam on the surface. If the pool was connected directly to the open sea through a crag or something - there would be surges of water bringing sand and particles with it that cloud the water - not the case here.
