Ahhh a baby seahorse! They are so beautiful but very fragile! They cannot handle much current at all and this is why their tails act as an anchor. But you probably know that obviously! LOL! A really crisp and beautiful shot of this little guy! Excellent piece and congratulations on the DD! :D

When life gives you lemons, make orange juice and leave the rest of the world wondering how the hell you did it

Oh wow! I've never seen a seahorse like this before. o.o

And the black background really help make it pop! ^^

When bees make honeycomb to store honey, they are in a sense, making tools for a particular use,and use them. They are toolmakers.

The entire human race is defined as the only toolmakers.

Does that mean bees are to be considered human? =O

I did see this photo on National Geographic! (I read the website everyday!)
I hope the moments you were around this fantastic rare species will stay with you for the rest of your days :)

Just spectacular, I can't even find the words to express how wonderful the image is as well as the wonder of the creature itself and how fortunate you were to witness it.
