Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia

I didn't know they did that. It looks very much like a stone.

@Michael Skorulski: Well they are just trying to stay safe... but when they pop in and out of their shell it seems as if they are! Thank you for stopping by!!

I like the way you've focused and also the blured backgorund.

@Reza: Thank you very kindly!

Wolfgang Prigge from Canada

You say you are new, but you have a good eye, I like your composition and focus in this one!

@Wolfgang Prigge: Yes I am, this is my first "real" camera ever and I have had it for a little over 3 months now and know very little, but I am learning! And thank you so very much!! Encouragement is so wonderful! I thank you!

Graham Russon from Cape Town, South Africa

You have a good eye, and technique comes with practice. This shot is great. The DOF works very well, with the sharp foreground giving way to the blury background. keep it up.

@Graham Russon: Thank you very much!! That is very kind!!!

Kelly from Ontario, United States

I agree with Wolfgang and Graham, you have a good eye. This is something you won't get from a photo editing program. Keep looking at other peoples pictures, analyze what you like and don't like in their pictures and your own. It all helps in developing your own style and most importantly, have fun :o)

@Kelly: Thank you so much!! That is very kind of you! And I do!! I really enjoy looking at the photos here! It is so neat and amazing the captures so many have made! I am excited that one day I will be able to do similar things (well unique but good!!) Thank you sincerely for the advice, and I will continue to learn and yes, most importantly have fun!! Thank You!! :)
