really difficult to believe; I have never seen something similar made by sea worms; it should belong to a museum!
excellent sharp details and great entry to the contest;

    Amazing nature... lots of shells on our beaches have these casts, but not so deep or so well covered. Amazing patterns. Thank you for your review and good luck wishes.

A pretty good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and appropriate composition offers a good look at sea worms, a form of life I have never heard of before!! Quite a strange yet enjoyable view posted here! Exposure and sharpness are good. Well taken!

Interesting vase that is created by nature and it is nicely displayed by the entrance to a beach house; great details and nice composition for this unique presentation.

This is an unusual artifact. Apparently this vase was taken long time ago by the ocean and spend some time on there. Then the sea worms gave it a beautiful natural protection over time. Your photo is well focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of light and color and the refinement of detail. The tight framing is adequate. The tall format emphasizes the vase excellently. The photo is well composed. The composition is balanced.

This is intriguing, your notes are interesting , informative and much appreciated , this is fascinating to study, it's something that I don't believe I have ever seen or even heard of before. You have photographed it very well allowing a good look at the work of the sea worms , well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct, the colors, tones and textures are well shown. Well composed allowing a good sense of this location near the entrance to your friends home. Well presented!

An interesting phenomenon that makes for an attractive image. I like the natural setting and think the exposure for the white worm castings is excellent. Good luck in the contest.

    Yes imagine them crawling and digging in the sand. The people here dig for them for fish and crab bait. Thank you for reviewing and support. Much appreciated.
