Very cool pic! Kaleidoscopic. 

Inspired by your painting of mandarin goby! 

What a gorgeous photo! 

Liz, that’s so kind. I used to date a world class photographer and he taught me a little. 

Gosh I wish that picture was taken with a better camera! I put a version there with a bit of sharpening and some color vibrance: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mbQOj_tXHKztxBjts8TgOBi9s0OnCBa-/view?usp=sharing 

For these, put a shutter delay and hold still. Pressing the button always make the camera move. 

Eral darlin… you sound like my ex 🤣🤣 

Sorry, some people are never happy... That's our way to make a compliment :( 

Wow Eral, I just saw it. Like you said, your version is more vibrant… thank you for tweaking it 

I didn’t say I was unhappy! 🤣🤣🤣 

☺ Thanks for saying so. You're too kind. 

Eral, I’m sorry I didn’t mean it like that! I literally lived with a real photographer for years, and he talked about photography 24/7! They were not unhappy years. Are we ace now? 

Mr G, you responded with a haiku the other day, and it made me enormously happy. I cherish moments like that. Thank you for making my day. 

No worry Yfritz, that is how I meant it. Most people would congratulate you on this great picture, and some $%^ can't help but look at it closer :) You could sell that one in a restaurant. 

Eral, I thought it was very sweet of you to tweak my photo. I should have thanked you first, and I apologize.  

Beautiful!
