Wow, very nice

PE. Why didn't you just write polyps?

 

[Reef Bass]

My buddy's ATL Crayola Plana. I think if these polyps extended any further, they'd fall out of the coralite!

Wouw, nice polyps picture DNA.
Great crayola plana, Reef Bass.

Those are amazing. I'll post a few, but they don't hold a candle to the above.

Wow,DNA...is that a focus stacked image?...the degree of detail and depth of field is mind blowing, as well as inspiring!

Great catch plantastic, I bet the rest thought nothing of it.

How many exposures did you use to create that image? Is there a particular software that you use? Again, unbelievable detail and dynamic range!

The best program I've found to focus stack is Helicon Focus. Does an incredible job of finding the sharpest areas of each image. Beats Photoshop CS5 (my latest version) hands down, especially in dark areas or areas of low contrast.

Thanks Tektite!

Real nice Ken!!!!

 

[Reef Bass]

Thanks. While I took the photo, credit for the excellent condition of the coral goes to my buddy. He had some outrageous polyp extension going on with many corals. We called this one "The Wookie".

Looking at the pic now, I find myself doing that "geez, I should do x, y and z to this image" thing.
