 This is a shot of my Gonipora coral, aka flowerpot coral. I like how this shot turned out, especially the beads of light on the tips of the tentacles. They like street lights to me, hence the title.

Post Editing: The original image was way underexposed because of the tiny aperture used, so I had to fix that in PS. I simply used auto levels, colour and contrast. Was some noise issues because of this, so I ran through neatimage.

Used Sigma 105mm macro lens, w/ camera flash.

A beautiful shot. Could have maybe enhanced it a little by brightening. I have no idea what it is. Really underwater?

Salt water creatures are so creepy. But cool. Nice job.

i'm sure this wasn't the easiest photo to take, probably limited lighting conditions, but it's very interesting to look at. i wish i could reach out and touch it!
