Sea Urchin Super Moon by seanoneill

Sea Urchin Super Moon

Well, the weather in the UK destroyed any chance of me seeing the Super Moon, and now the chance has gone.

A combination of feeling awful most of the day, rushing our to cricket practise had me reaching for an indoor 1 shot day. I shot this earlier in the year too, but have had this shot iin mind for a day like today.

So, here is a Sea Urchin Super Moon!!

A struggle today, as you can see! SOOC with off camera flash.
=D I didn't see the Supermoon either.

Great textures, such a lovely shot!
May 15th, 2012

May 15th, 2012  
This is great, reminds me of Star Wars and the Death Star!

Great pic - and title!
May 15th, 2012  
Lovely detail
May 15th, 2012  
Beautiful light and textures!

A great 'moon'! A fair few of us are struggling at the moment! Need a load of sunshine!
May 15th, 2012  
Rubbish weather ruins all our plans!! Love the urchin much more fun than a moon!!!
May 15th, 2012  
Well done Sean.
May 15th, 2012  
Love the texture
May 15th, 2012  
I'm soory you didin't get to view the supermoon, hopefully next time the weather will behave. This is a great improvisation of it though :D
May 15th, 2012  
Surely the super moon couldn't have been any better than this! Love the idea!
May 16th, 2012  
At the first glimpse I really saw a moon in this :-) Can imagine your disapointment, but well, you offer us a fantastic shot nevertheless
May 16th, 2012  
I love this !! The textures, light and composition are fabulous. Great idea to compare it to the moon - it does look like the moon !!
May 16th, 2012  
Love the title! Great lighting and b&w.
May 16th, 2012  
Great fun idea. Sea urchins are so interesting to look at.
May 16th, 2012  
Great idea! Love the side lighting and detail.
May 16th, 2012  
So very creative! I like the way your mind works :)
May 16th, 2012  
Haha...I like your version of the super moon! Like the way you chose to light it.
May 16th, 2012  
Oooh, I like your title for this fabulous shot! Look at the texture, it's so cool! Very dramatic lighting too. 8)
May 16th, 2012  
I love the comparison between this sea urchin and the moon! The lighting and textures make it uncannily moon-like. Lovely simple but effective b&w. Hope you are feeling much better tomorrow! :)
May 16th, 2012  
Sometimes the simple things in life are the best!! I really like this and that is how i got the daisy in black and white..just having a bad day can make a great photo!! Love it and the detail well defined!

May 16th, 2012  
@redsockbluesock Thanks MG, a bit of off camera flash, part of the learning curve for me.
May 16th, 2012  
@jillmstruss That is such a compliment, my mind is one of my best friends, we get on well together most of the time. It works better the later in the day it gets, especially if fuelled by a nice glass of claret ;))

Lol! Melbourne didn't see the super moon either, too much cloud. It reminds me of the Death Star off Star Wars. Lovely textures and shadows Sean.
