Very nice image Steve~ Great clarity and I like the DOF too. Yeah, I wouldn't want to get poked by one in the foot either! I hear the poison is pretty nasty!

Do they just wash up on the beach like that? it looks like it would make a great piggy bank, unless it's too small. Very cool shot, Steve.

Crazy as it seems, I don't think I've ever seen one of these. Nice details and textures. Thank you for sharing it.

Sits pretty on desktop!

aww thats really cute, the poison is nasty, someone got stung by one when i was recently in thailand, fortunatly the guy on the boat had some stuff to put on it, but it still looked pretty rank!!

This is great! I love the color and light contrasts, as well as the clear lines and feel of the picture. This could be hanging on the wall in a beach house. A very tastefully decorated beach house, I might add.

It's rare to find these guys so intact, from what I've seen, they are very fragile once they've dried. Keep it up!!

P.S. if you get a chance, take a look at my gallery. Any comments, criticisms, advice, etc. (especially on some of the newer to mid-new pics) would be greatly welcome! Have an awesome day!
