Praying for the Tide

Very remote in Humboldt County
Northern California
Yes those are flies on this slowly dying starfish. Shot a few exposures to catch the bugs as sharp as could be and noticed a lot of movement while the starfish seemed to be stationary in front of me. I thought I would post something different than the usual starfish photo here. Sorry about not moving the big rock but I didn't want to disrupt the scene. I think that bright starfish is going to live to see the next high tide.
The style here is pretty documentary with a touch of art. Thanks for looking.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
