Description
Fractal progr.Xaos + some post work in PSP.
Octopuses belong to the class of marine molluscs known as the Cephalopoda.
1) They are the most advanced of all the invertebrates.
2) They move by jet propulsion, squirting water from a funnel.
3) They are the most intelligent of the invertebrates, with a capacity for learning.
4) Most of them are able to eject ink to confuse predators.
5) Most of them have a remarkable ability to change colour.
6) They have arms with suckers which they use to capture prey. (Octopuses have eight arms, squids have ten).
7) They have a hard beak to tackle prey with hard shells like crabs.
8) Their heyday was 100 million years ago in Cretaceous times when Ammonites were plentiful in the oceans of Earth.
9) Although they are molluscs, most of them have evolved to have only a diminished internal shell (the cuttlebone of the cuttlefish), or have lost their shell completely (octopus).
10) The Giant Squid, Architeuthis, is the largest invertebrate known, and stretched out with its tentacles included, it has attained 18 metres in length. Even larger specimens may await to be discovered in the deepest oceans.

oh it is soo wonderful done - excellent coloring - like it much much much
Fijn werk om naar te kijken. Achtergrond is erg mooi.
Compliment voor het totale design en speciaal voor de best knappe scherpe rendering iets wat in Xaos vaak een probleem is .
Speelse XaoS creatie, waarbij ik me aansluit bij het commentaar van Arend.

Een heel mooi verzorgd geheel.
this giant exemplar appeared straight from the dark ground of the ocean - and you was there on the right time and place - I like the filaments of the spiral and the bright points in the background
Origineel en kleurrijk!
