Its good to see something from the water world :). Nice composition. I liked the colours. The top right corner is a bit bright and distracts. Thanks for the information. Look forward to more.

Nice, I love the colours and the composition. Look forward to more.
Doesn't Sargassum float at the surface? I didn't know it can be found submerged... (?)

rootlike Holdfast is used by Sargassum to hold some substrata, here a bottom of a rockpool. what we see floating is many branches as the algae of this genera can grow several meters. It floats to gain more surface area which aids in Photosynthesis.

Nice colours. I like the composition and the focus on the orange algae on the right. I agree that the bright area in the top right corner is a bit distracting. Thanks for sharing.
