This was take at Sea World in Orlando with a 28-70mm lense, hand held. This is the first time I have braved the crowds of tourists to photograph anything in this area. It was a little scary, but these are such unusual and beautiful creatures.

Major post processing, involving selecting the sea horse using the lasso tool with lots of feathering, tidying up with the airbrush tool, then solarise filter, invert, adjust contrast and brightness, removed all white with "eliminate white" filter, copied onto a second layer. On the top layer, adjusted hue to get the red/brown colours in the body, then used lasso tool to select the body, inverted selection and deleted the rest, adjusted hue on lower layer to get the blue/green "legs". Created another layer, and added background using gradient tool. I hope you like it!
