green star polyps by Peggy

behind the glass of the reef tank

another beautiful living coral from my husband's reef aquarium.
difficult to get a good focus because this is a macro shot as well as the fact that the water is constantly moving. this one needed a bit of desaturation because it was just overwhelmingly colorful.

wow Peggy! - i can almost feel the movement in the water - what a superb environment to photograph, and nurture. Once again a pic of suberb clarity, and composition - love the detail of the 'flowers' - i'd love to see the original, as you had to desaturate this one. these pics are treasures, as i fear coral maybe disappearing too fast. thanks. adrianox
