Superb capture Tara. God Bless.
Nasty if you fall on them wearing shorts or a swimsuit!
Gives me goose bumps!! Great shot Tara.
fantastic shot Tara!
The rough & the smooth - excellent!
LOL @ Jeff!! They are so fascinating and you did a stellar job sharing them with us Hun! Mis jou vrek baie!
I am not for sure what they are must be an ocean thing looks creepy to me but a great capture for sure hon.
Why do I think about Barnacle Bill the Sailor? Not shot.
Nice shot. Let me tell you, those thing can cause some damage if you brush up against them by accident.
I remember teasing these on childhood holidays! lol Great shot .. Rob
Beautiful lighting and capture! I don't think I've ever gotten close enough to experience the damage these can cause.... but from what others are saying.... ouch! :)
Great capture
I can imagine how the whales feel with all these barnacles over their backs... Interesting shot. Aloha
Excellent shot of these tiny barnacles :-) Dont scratch yourself :-D
Great capture!
Nice detail!
I know they hurt if you hit them with your bare skin. like your leg lol. anyway this is cool shot of them
Wonderful details and textures in this great capture!!! Never seen the likes of these before. Thanks for posting this.
Wonderful texture, Tara! Fascinating critters, but I'll bet they're a pain to dock and boat owners.
A great capture of these barnacles, but oh they can be so sharp.
Wonderful shot! I'm always fascinated by these, especially the skeletons they leave behind!
Love the little splash of water off to the side--beautiful shot!!
Superb photo with delicate colors! Have a nice week Tara!
I'd say they have decided to call it home! Nice shot!
Interesting bernacles.
wow it's great to read the comments with all the caveats on barnacles' sharpness and the pain they cause. (Apparently it's a problem! I guess I'm lucky I've not been hit!) To me, your capture turns this pier into an edible candied delight. And the crop gives us just enough to let us taste the great variety of textures & hues of these things. And the chunk of deep blue on the right is a perfect foil, smooth, deep and very dark. A wonderful rich capture, and cropped just right.
Great find and capture Tara!
