Best of Mike #124

This simple pixture is one of my all time favorites.

I am fascinated by the idea that it is an animal (Giant Anemone) not a plant.

I like the idea that down low and up close, I almost get the perspective of one of the small shrimp that live in symbiosis with the anemone.

We see anemone with some regularity, in the waters that we dive. Some more colorful than this.... many not as healthy as this one.

Most often we find them in shallow water where the wave action can make it tougher than you think to get the framing right on an extreme close-up.

Thank goodness for Lightroom.... as on this particular shot my strobe did not fire.

If it weren't for the tweaks that I can make to light level, color and tone in that software.... this pixture would not have survived the "you can't show that to anyone, cut".
