Well taken shot, good focus, interesting angle, but honestly, I'm not fully thrilled. The pink/red starfish (I know it's dyed) looks unnatural and somewhat out of focus or hard to see clearly. The book cover is GREAT, but I'm thinking that is really your "background", but wait....I see lots of shadows on the book cover. This shot takes a longer than average view to "take it all in". I am certain others spotted this more quickly than me, but I am equally certain many did not look at the details of this shot. (I am finding the sledgehammer approach raises the quality of votes I get!) Very nicely subtle! Your score raises to match. Started at as a 6, but I have talked you up to an 8. Good job! Swash
I don't really understand the intention with this photo... If the starfish in the bottom of the frame is your subject, i would have tried to make it a larger part of the image... = 4 - jmsetzler
