 This is all the marine stuff attached to the post of our marina slip..see the mussels? They look huge in the photo, but in reality,they are only as big as the end of my thumb. I like that the barnacles almost looks like flowers with faces in the photo.

Mussels on kelp? A beautiful photo but I am not sure it is enough of a puzzle for this challenge. But like I said a beautiful photo, it's something I would expect to see hanging on the wall in a seaside town.

I see clams or mussles, but it looks like they are intermixed with flowers? Weird, I assumes they are other little sea creatures?

barnacles and clams, great composition!!!

Some kind of sea creatures and clams? Very cool!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

seems lacking in composition. Doesn't seem all that macro to me unless you really stumped me and those shells and things are way smaller than they appear.

Moules and barnacles.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I think it's pretty clear what this, so I don't think it fits the challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/20/2007 05:36:26 AM
If this is what I think it is, then it's very clever :)
This works well for the challenge and I do like the b/w conversion too.
My guess would be shells and barnacles stuck to a sea rock. But it does look like a cuisine meal too.

oysters/mussels? The small shells almost look like bunches of flowers. My first impression was oyster mixed with flower? What was the coloured version like? Interesting picture but a little more contrast would have been more effective.
