Beautiful - even though I realize this is somewhere between death and dinner.

Awesome. Gooey, squishy, alienesque, and very effective. The only nitpick I would have, or suggestion I would make, is to clone out the dustspecks, and perhaps the reflections, in the right hand foreground. I'm just looking now, and wonder also is the depth of field could be widened, to sharpen the foreground suckers too. But still, a very strong overall entry...well done.

I like the composition play between light and dark. Good choice on going B&W

Edward Weston meets octopus! Terrific! I wish the shiny glare were controlled a little bit, perhaps by polarizing, though I realize you need to show it for the right feeling...

true to the challenge... great capture. I feel slimmy.

Comment by Little King:
Nice yin and yang feel. Great image for a dynamic black and white. I like the title also. The only thing that bothers me is the very out of focus tube foot beneath the dark tentacles spiral. Actually the whole front cluster of four is quite out of focus. The eye is pulled to the upper left (which is alright), but I think it'd be more natural if the focus was further front and fell off in back.

cool image but a greater dof would have helped those suction cups up front.
