Additional Information About this Photograph
I remember paddling my kayak to a secluded beach for a picnic lunch with my dive buddy. We passed juvenile harbor?? seals sunning themselves on rocks. The water was calm and we were able to dive around an exposed rock that rises from a sand bottom at 90\' to about 30\' above the surface. I found this anemone? there, stretching its tentacles, lined with nematocysts (stinging cells), into the water for a tasty morsel. That day was just a few years after I began doing underwater photography. When I saw the processed slide, I was very pleased that my experiments with lighting the anemone? from above had produced a good result. --MS
