A jellyfish on Torrey Pines State Beach, La Jolla.
I took many photos of these jellyfish and they are my favorite of the year. Unfortunately I had already posted many other jellyfish photos in my portfoilio, but I wanted to enter one in this challenge.

Return for comment. Very artsy jellyfish. Nicely done. Could use some more sand on the sides though--if it's not cropped, perhaps after the challenge, you can extend the canvas.
Very unique and interesting colors - usually I don't like grainy images, but because we are looking at a sea creature on sand the grainy-ness really enhances this photo
an intersting find on the beach, but the composition gives nothing to this. I might sugest a low angle, with the water appearing in the distance oof. Then it would tell a story - where the jellyfish came from. Just seeing one plopped here in the sand tells me nothing.
Wow is that really a jellyfish? I think the composition is a bit too centered, but it does force us to concentrate on the patterns of the jellyfish which is good. I think a slight contrast increase in PP would improve the impact of the shot.
