Starfish

I explored the beach during super low tide today and thought I'd share this cluster of starfish with you. These creatures were out of the water on the rocky seaweed covered beach. Hope you're having a a wonderful Sunday!!

Here's another shot of some others in varying shades of purple. They were underwater in a tidal pool. http://365project.org/kwind/extra-shots/2014-05-04

Wow! Great colors and patterns... processed, or are these starfish coming out of the sea like this? That vibrant purple is excellent, contrasted with the algae.

I saw this earlier today and loved it, but then lost it in the thread when I cam back. I should have guessed it was yours! Wonderful image!

[KWind]

@rosiekerr I moved the saturation button a tad and turned up the contrast slightly but they are basically this colour in real life.

[KWind]

@tskipper It was a really low tide. There were literally 100s of them in various shades of purple. There were other orange ones that are shaped a little differently and less scaly too.

[Rosie Kerr]

@kwind Amazing! They are so vibrant. Thanks for sending them out for us to see. :)

[Leana Niemand]

Oh wow, how unusual, is that the real color?
