Original – Bladder wrack (Fucus vesiculosus) in Sämstad Harbor, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden. There is some red hornweed (Ceramium virgatum) at the top right.
Reason
Algae are very underrepresented in our FP collection - there's only one other image. Shows this seaweed in its natural environment (shallow water) which makes the execution more difficult. Was featured on Commons this month.

Looks like we need to create a new category under Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Other lifeforms.

  • FYI, the photo is taken at noon on a clear day with the sun blazing down on the wrack, you can't get any more light than that. Unfortunately, the water 'steals' so much of the light and a polarizing filter is not an option for the same reason. I've tried it and I had to go way up high in the ISO then to get a short enough time with a reasonable DoF since things in water move constantly. --cart-Talk 14:47, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
