Sea Anemone


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Sea Anemone
Sea Anemone

After working on this anemone for awhile, I realized it looked like something from the sea.
Only later did I remember there is indeed a creature called a "sea anemone."
All textures by me--the wavy lines and cracked area are from a photo I took of an old metal pail.

  Colleen- The digital darkroom work you are doing is just unbelievable. Stunning in beauty and creation. Such a fantastic job with the textures, the tones are out of this world, the look like something out of the sea.
You mark my word young lady, this will be back, we will see it again.
Phenominal work
Have a beautiful day.
