Cool use of candlelight. Great for the challenge.

[Kitti Nelson]

beautiful use of the softness of the candlelight - gives a cool textural emphasis to the starfish and the b&w is so effective.

[summerfield]

i am intrigue by the texture of the surface. is it concrete? high five for this shot, the starfish is shaded yet you managed to still capture the details. very nice1

[Sally Ings]

@summerfield Vikki, it is a real starfish that is dried out. It's quite brittle and I presume fairly fragile. It's a decent size, around 10cm point to point.
