At the risk of inundating you with too many "sea images", I'm adding
this to the mix.
The Pentax 645 works well with the extension tubes, and will be a
good tool until I finally spring for a Pentax-A 120/4 Macro lens.
I liked the detail in this image; however, there is not any true
focal point that draws you in. In any case though, the clarity is
quite good in my opinion.
The proprietary Epson software for the scanner is working well
for most of my shots, so that is a bonus for me. The less time
behind the monitor processing images is wonderful for me.
I've noticed that when transferring images to the web site, they
lose a lot of punch. The original transparency is actually quite "punchy".

Great colors and tasteful composition, even though I do not like seafood all that much.

Thanks Bill!
Here we have, of course Sea Star
and California Mussels
and Chiton (upper part of photo, touching the Sea Star, it
is ingesting a Sea Worm - they are very primitive looking to me,
and they have developed only to a marginal point over the past 10
million years)
and Gooseneck Barnacles (left side of photo)
and a young Sea Anemone (lower left)
and Red Kelp Grass (upper left)
and Cooper's Whelks (small shells scattered around and
below the Red Kelp Grass)
Chitons (sg. pronounced /ˈkaɪtən/): are small to large,
primitive marine mollusks in the class Polyplacophora. There are
900 to 1,000 extant species of chitons in the class, which was
formerly known as Amphineura[3].
These mollusks are also sometimes commonly known as sea
cradles or "coat-of-mail shells". They are also sometimes referred
to more formally as loricates, polyplacophorans, and rarely
as polyplacophores.
Chitons have a shell which is composed of eight separate shell
plates or valves. These plates overlap somewhat at the front and
back edges, and yet the plates articulate well with one another.
Because of this, although the plates provide good protection for
impacts from above, they nonetheless permit the chiton to flex
upward when needed for locomotion over uneven surfaces, and
also the animal can slowly curl up into a ball when it is dislodged
from the underlying surface. The shell plates are surrounded by
a structure known as a girdle.
California Mussels: The California mussel prefers the high
salinity, low sediment conditions found on open rocky coasts.
However, they do not colonize bare rock easily, instead preferring
the shelter of pre-existing mussels and their biological filaments.
Mussels attach themselves to the hard surfaces using their
thread-like byssus.
The byssus is as strong as steel filaments in relation to size and
strength ratios.
and Sedimentary Rock (gneissic and sandstone strata) laid
down about 200 million years ago in a large sea, when the
Olympic peninsula did not exist. Upheavals of the San Juan plate
sliding under the continental crust have built up the Olympic
peninsula, with the highest elevations harboring large glaciers.

Thanks Spottie! Well, those California Mussels are a fantastic delicacy, although in the National Park we do not disturb them.

Thanks Tobias! The sea life is so massive and concentrated on these shores...life living on life.
