Not the usual neighbors...

Well, it's taken with a Canon (my wife's SD800) & it's at the widest angle plus I was at a weird angle peering under this rock at minus tide
but with this creepy assortment of beautiful sea life I doubt you can make out the distortion.

Thanks Brent. This was shot up in Port Townsend at a minus tide.

Thanks tv & Penny. I always am aware of photography as an information medium above all. ;)

Now that I know you didn't really pick up the rock, I'll admit that I made the anonymous comment. Penny Street

As the missus says, "jeez Louise". An offbeat pov that really works. Great color and exotic detail filling the frame with interest. -tv

Thanks folks. Gotta be honest - I didn't actually move the rock. I just did contortions to get the cam under it (& not drop it in the soup). Pretty weird life under there.

It's a busy abstract - since we can't really tell a whole lot about the subjects we are left with color (very nice) and stuff (very interesting). All in all - definitely worth picking up the rock and shooting.

Definetly an interesting view and definetly full of life. -Doug

You're a braver man then me Ray I wouldn't lift a rock up to see wot's under there, 1.. because its work & 2.. you never know if something will jump up & eat you. This turned out really good & no worries about distortion as you went as wide as you can go anyhow & shown us a view of the world we live in that not many of us has seen before. This looks like mini Corel reef & the colours are great. The composition is really good too as we can see the world in the water that these things live in. Well done mate.
