About This is the underside of a starfish.
I liked the patterns of its legs and the way the legs stretch out, as if always reaching for more!
The background is actually a sunset photo I took some time ago. I hand held the starfish about 12 inches away from the photo and used a large lens opening for a shallow dof.
The lighting was a halogen desk lamp.
My best to all..............John

That is very interesting John, old steady hand.. I couldn't do that now. Such great detail. Don.

Great image, and I'm amused by your re-use of an image and lighting notes, as I've just done something very similar!

Brilliant work, once again, John!
The composition is very strong and the background colours provide a good contrast with the pale colour of the starfish.
Best regards, Chris

What a great entry into the new project John. Very pretty with great focus and detail. I just went back and read your bio again and totally agree. My sister and I were talking one day that photography is a way of dealing with all the ugliness in this world... when looking through a lens we find out that there is beauty everywhere!
Have a great weekend! :)

Good details on the starfish, John, and an ingenious way to get the background!

Wuauu, is so beautifull and creative my friend.....SENSACIONAL!


Peter Daniel   {K:33866} 12/31/2005
Wonderful Photograph John, Great colors and clarity and Composition.

Thanks for sharing… Thanks for the wonderful comment on my Photograph. John, you should know, a church building does not make God's Church, a house does not make a home and a computer/program does not make this a Photographer's WEB site. They all have to do with loving and caring people. I just backed off a little and let the dust settle. There some really nice features showing up here. I will be back to posting regular when I get back home from the holidays "Next Year".

Happy New Year and GOD Bless…
Your friend, Peter

Very nice, the pattern of the legs is so interesting. Love the background.
