Hello,
This is what I call a lesson of photography :

A first element in front : the starfishs
2/3 of sea and 1/3 of sky
The sea level is horizontal
Another element in the back of the picture : the boat moving forward the right. It has still some place in order to move forward.

Maybe the boat should have been more on the left and the star more on the right but it was no so easy to take such picture because the boat was may be moving quickly, and
because of the shark....

Bravo,

Philippe Journet

Hi Alex

A beautiful capture, with the huge and colorful starfishes in the crystal clear waters, and the clouds that seem to escape quickly toward the horizon...

Marine

The repetition of the starfish foreground and the clarity of the water draw my eyes to the horizon and the man on the boat. Beautifully done!
