I have never seen a octopus this close!:) For me this looks like some cookies in the making! Interesting capture. Mysterious!
This is a wonderful shot of nature. You have timed it well. The light and shadows,and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

A great shot. The lighting is beautiful and the composition is very fine. I like the pattern of the suckers and the great colors. A superb shot in every regard.

Now you're the creative genius, my friend! Without taking notice of the title, this is an artistic and intriguing abstract design piece. Noticing the title, it is a study in what lies at the mysterious depth of the ocean. Either way, it fascinates, compels and makes quite an initial impact that lasts. Excellent job, Steve. Once again, a virtual six. Ed.

I have no clue what you may have started with for this composition, but you certainly came up with a creative composition. To me, it is like a vortex drawing the viewer inward toward the light. Overall a very interesting and compelling creation.

Who knew that octopus tentacles could be so intriguing haha? The use of light is really eye pleasing and makes for a nice initial impact. The colors are also nice and draw your eyes in to the suction cups. Great idea!
