A clean Octopus Vulgaris

I spotted this out of focus octopus in Plymouth National Marine Aquarium and thinking of the great pictures on JungleDragon by the hand of Andrey Narchuk I just had to post it.

Thanks for sharing Ludo. Andrey surely is the marine master but still, this is the first photo of this specie shared and thereby very valuable. Plus, in medium format it does not look that much out of focus! Posted 13 years ago, modified 13 years ago

Thanks, Ferdy! For both your compliments that is:) I feel the whole of JD's community puts a lot of effort into nice photographs of all nature can offer. And of course continue to do so. I'm itching to visit a zoo or something:) Posted 13 years ago
