It’s just lying there, soaking up the sun without a care in the world. You can tell it’s been tossed around by the sea, but right now, it’s as still as can be, enjoying a break from all that splashing around in the surf. ### Specific Feedback Any feedback welcome ### Technical Details 70 mm at ISO 100 and 1⁄160sec at ƒ/8 ---

Wonderful!! It has a very interesting shape and just the right amount of sand washed over it! I love the colors. Excellent find and very well presented!! ---

Well I personally like it and did a whole series quite similar this summer. Your specimen has more complexity and variety in it and is pretty striking. I know zilch about seaweed so have no idea what it is. Great texture and grittiness. I am, however, going to move this to flora since it’s a plant and not something manmade. ---

Thanks Kris, I will take a look at yours! And thanks for moving it, much appreciate it! 🙏 ---

I don’t think I posted more than one or two, but they’re in my portfolio here somewhere. ---

Don, this is a feast for the eyes. There is so much to notice, even in the textures in the sand. I would like it hanging on my wall. I can also see it as a very high-end greeting card. ---

Hi Don, This grabbed me immediately when scanning thumbnail images in the flora category. At first glance I though, wood carving, lithographic print, cameo plaster cast of some sort. I think the colors, the composition of the seaweed itself, and the perfect balance of sand covering and exposed matter just makes this look classic in an unusually three-dimensional way. Really wonderful to see. ML ---
