What a wonderful blue color of this starfish, Janice.

Your photo is lovely and could pass for a travel ad.

I especially like the ripples in this crystal clear water, surrounding the subject.

Thank you for sharing this well composed image with us.

Glad you had a great time...



Thank you for sharing

Very lovely composition, Janice. Gorgeous color on this unusual sea star. I love the ripples and reflections of the water on the sand. The light was just perfect for those effects. Well done and TFS.
I am glad you had such a wonderful time in Fiji. To me, that sounds very exotic and at the other end of the world. Looking forward to seeing more pictures from your holiday. : )

Hi Janice,

I hope you had a great holiday! This is a great picture and I like it very much. In fact this photo consists of only a few colors, but therefore it's very relaxing for the eye. Composition is great and I like the way the water is coming in. No nits whatsoever. Well done & TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

Bula Janice!
I went to Fiji a couple of years ago on my honeymoon and the memory is beginning to fade :( I'd certainly forgotten about these beautiful starfish. We had a great laugh shouting BULA! at every opportunity whenever we saw staff from the hotel.
Thanks for bringing back the memories!

Hi Janice, I find this photo very soothing... I have never seen a blue seastar; all of the ones near us are orange or a variation of it. The patterns of the sand with the water reflections is beautiful... it is actually the area that I find the most pleasing. Thanks for sharing our holiday with us!

I've just sent a comment on a colorful gentian, and I find this beautiful seastar. Never seen a blue one. I like also very much the water playing around, the subtle water movements up to the sand. Many artistic feelings conveyed with your subject, sand and water. It couldn't be simplier. Well done Janice.

Star fish are one of my most favourite sea creatures. This is awesome Janice. I like that the pool of water is there too. Marvellous shot from your holidays. A real treasure to keep.

Hi Janice,
I really like this shot! The composition is so simple, yet so elegant. The rich blue colour in the starfish contrasts beautifully with the sandy background and crystal clear water. You must have had a nice holiday in Fiji!
Excellent work!

Wow! So nice...the contrast between the blue and the sand...and the water. Just perfect...How can you not make good pictures in a place like this? Fidji islands are just like heaven...as I can see in my bboks. Maybe one day I'll be able to fly there for a holiday...maybe...Congradulations!
