In the sea

Critiques welcome. It is not normally the type of picture I take, therefore, I am not sure exactly what I should be doing.

Wow - that's a very vivid blue. Where did you come across this little wonder? They're very poisonous aren't they?

I really like the first one. Nice and shrp and lovely strong colours.

As Ian said, where did you sea (see what I did there...) this?

On the beach at our resort "Jibacoa" in Cuba. They appeared after we had been there about a week. Obviously the Red flag went up, because they are so dangerous and the stings can land you in hospital. Late one afternoon my husband and I were walking along the beach when I saw these. I decided to get my camera and take a few pics. There were dozens of them but by the time I got down, I was lucky to have taken the few I had, as some French Canadians were squashing them all and kicked the one I had just photographed.
Anyway, it was at that time I saw the man fishing.

I did adjust the levels on the jellyfish, which brought out the blue somewhat.

So sharp and vivid. Does make me wonder what their function is in life.
