Ocean's Patterns

Hi everyone, its been a few months since i've posted here in BPN and to be honest this is my first post on Macro and flora forum. This picture was made in Lisbon, Portugal in a low tide, when the sea anemones have to adapt to the low sea levels.

Please write your sincere thoughts, thanks.

Neat colors here the pattern is quite interesting as well.

Luis I really like the colours and the in focus areas are interesting to look at. I find the OOF areas a little distracting. I have to confess with this type of subject I am not the best person to offer critique. If I had seen this I too would also have photographed it but deciding how to portray the tentacles in a meaningful way is not easy.
In the techs it is a good idea to indicate focal length, ISO, +/-, aperture and shutter speed, this will help folk offer a more informed critique.

I really think the colours and shapes here a wonderful. As mentioned by Jonathan, the limited depth of field here has produced significant parts that are out of focus and I feel this has weakened the image somewhat in spite of the overall appeal. Always nice to see something a bit different so thanks for sharing it.
