Remarks"Reflection On A Mangrove" --Starfish Point, Grand Cayman--When I first found this starfish, it was crawling over the low roots of this mangrove tree, something I'd never seen before. I immediately conceived an over-under photograph of the brightly-colored starfish and the tree. I framed a couple of images…all the while the starfish continued climbing over mangrove tree roots. Over-under photographs are one of my favorite types of images and I've been developing new ways to shoot them. As the starfish got closer to the surface, I realized I could shoot not only an over-under, but also capture the reflection of the starfish on the bottom on the water's surface.
