There's too much contrast on the starfish for me, but I do love all the storytelling elements in the photo. Intriguing shot.

Reall neat composition in this, there are so many different elements, it's a little busy but in a way that I love.
Post actions
Inclusion of a person and low level makes it even more interesting!

Lovely tidal pool scene. 7

Nicely composed, nice light, good placing of the important elements
Post actions
Awesome perspective... you did well to get down low to capture this.
Post actions
The composition seems a bit cluttered, the focus a little off, but I like the general atmosphere you captured here.

Who is longing for the sea? The starfish, the man, the ship, or all of them? Makes me think about it.

Awesome capture and presentation. Gorgeous. The ship adds a dimension. The person another dimension still. Bumping.
Post actions
I really like the perspective of this one
Post actions
Good low down perspective. Well captured.
Post actions
love the three subjects nature, man, and the machine
Post actions
Nice shot. Good color and POV.
Post actions
My oh my! I didn't realize starfish were so much bigger than people and ships! In other words, excellent perspective, I like it.
Post actions
I like the composition and color

Nice composition, and I like the starfish as a foreground element. This would benefit from a CCW horizon rotation...
Post actions
What a WONDERFUL composition!!! The starfish, the man, the ship, they all come together nicely to make a photo that tells a story. So the technicals aren't perfect but when a photo is an interesting as this one is you don't need perfect technicals.

Nice balance to the picture. Full of interesting subjects.

poor thing :)

Voted earlier coming back to leave comments. I LOVE how you composed all your elements here to tell a story!!! You have a great eye to have spotted the potential of all three elements together. The seastar, the lone person, and the ship in the distance could all have a longing to be at sea and they all seek it in different ways. The ship 'longs' to be out in the deeper waters for she is a ship meant to travel to far distant and deep waters. The lone man stands there looking in the direction of the ship. He longs to get back to the sea and feel the freedom of open air and wide expanse of blue. The seastar longs to return to the ocean bottom. The shore is far from it's familiar home of the deep ocean floor. Three main subjects all with a story to tell. Well done in showing us this story!

very interesting elements and perspective - IMHO they all add up to a magnificent image!
Post actions
Good POV, the boat is a nice touch
Post actions
Interpretation of Topic: Interesting Idea
Post actions
good perspective. Also like how the person and the boat in the background could also fit the title
Post actions
I like the composition, wonderful location you have here, 7
Post actions
Just the sky over on the left needed something.
Post actions
the starfish could have been more in focus
Post actions
your focus is off just a touch
Post actions
I like the low angle. all the elements of this work really well together
Post actions
Ooooooh! I love the perspective!
Post actions
good juxtaposition of elements.
Post actions
Beautiful shot, and great perspective.
Post actions
Ok I like the shot. I think the starfish could have been sharper and more in focus. That would have pulled an extra number or two out of me. 5
Post actions
Very creative composition. I like the depth of subjects.
Post actions
Sucks to be you, Star old buddy!

Excellent perspective and detail. A very nice capture! 7

Nice perspective and title.
Post actions
What a surreal tableau: starfish in the foreground, man in midrange, ship in the distance. Rather Dali-esque.
Post actions
I think the lighting here is a bit harsh, but I really really love the comp of this shot. The guy standing alone in the background, the lone starfish in the front.. Its very cool, and the title is very fitting for the scene. Great capture.
Post actions
Very interesting in that there are 3 main focal points; the star fish, the person and the boat.
Post actions
Post actions
The shot in itself is great... and then coupled with the title, it's even more awesome. I love the 3 separate subjects... this one made me stop and appreciate longer than most.
Post actions
love the pov, I like the different layers of the person in the background and then the ship further back
Post actions
nice pov something different
Post actions
I like this POV well done
Post actions
Hope you didn't get too wet for this photo. I like the PoV and the match with the title.
Post actions
Post actions
I wish the focus was more on the foreground than the background. The colors are nice.
Post actions
Wow my eyes literally seemed to step backward into the photo.. from the starfish, thru watery passageways to the stepstones out to the person, then out to the ship.
Post actions
What excellent elements in this - the star, the man, the boat. And the rocks leading to the man - also very cool.
Post actions
Nice angle and perspective. I d like to see the man's figure more to the left. Well done.
Post actions
Well conceived image, love the way you've carried the theme through the increasing scale of the elements 9
Post actions
it isnt really focusing on anything imo
Post actions
Nice job - alot going on in this shot, it rreally works for me.
Post actions
good POV, I like the relationship between the starfish and the man in the distance. the ship (though also "longing for the sea") is one element too much for me. your horizon is slightly tilted, that should have been corrected.
Post actions
interesting angle, with very interesting position of subject. title fits perfectly
Post actions
three elements working well together.. nice!
Post actions
Fascinating relationship between the starfish, the boat and the man. Interesting, thought-provoking shot.
Post actions
A bit disconcerting because there's not enough to give the proper perspectives Both starfish and man seem larger than the ship. Nice lighting & colors. Starfish seems a bit blurry.
Post actions
Post actions
to much items, there is no main subject
Post actions
Very nice perspective and lots of interest in this picture. Good one!
Post actions
or the attack of the giant starfish ;)
Post actions
wish the man was not standing there
Post actions
This is great. Three planes of subjects all in focus. Good capture. I hope you didn't get the camera wet.
Post actions
I love the low perspective. So many people miss this and it really makes it a great shot. Wonderful attention to the details.
Post actions
Love the composition of this shot. Foreground: a lonely starfish away from the sea. Mid-ground: A lonely and longing seafarer. Background: the far away ship in water where they both long to be. Wonderful.
Post actions
Great composition. This is a clever image, and very well executed... best of luck.
Post actions
great example of the rule of thirds, you've got a lot going on here, and one would think it woulc clutter the shot, but here it works, they all blend in together and tell a story
Post actions
Nice composition, focus is a bit off
Post actions
Starfish and figure really makes this
Post actions
Great POV and composition.
Post actions
so pretty! i hope this little guy made it back out to the ocean.
