 This is a macro shot of a globe filled with water and miniature porpoises..it is quite misty inside and looks pretty eerie. It seemed to fit this challenge after I cropped and enlarged it, then did a little hue change more toward the green/blue of the ocean..I had to shake the globe to get the look of bubbles and debris.

I guess people weren't ready for something nebulous and organically surreal looking..haha..I guess I'll have to stick to something less impressionist.

Like your idea, and like the murky color and lighting. But, somehow the overall effect is a little confusing. Hard to get oriented to it.

Dolphins? Nice shot. There are appearances of known animals, yet vague enough to not be sure. Good take on challenge.

great idea - but this looks like a tough shot (this is an area of photography where wquipment counts!). Yours is a bit fuzzy and bubbly and murky, unfortuantely.

That is very interesting. The lack of focus really solidifies its purpose for being in this challenge. Nice job.
