    what makes this such a viewed picture? Beautiful though the object is, its hardly an excellent technical piece of photography.

    Oh, so now someone tells us. 😉

    It’s the 582 favorites that I find interesting.

    When any of my photos has popped over 100K views, it’s because of some blogosphere pointers from outside flickr. Reddit, in this case, helped it get over 400K views as of today.

    Beautiful symmetry and a wonderful discovery! Beautiful colour scheme in the top sea urchin species! Love the ornate patterns from the hydraulic tube feet!

    It looks like a very highly skilled craftman’s pottery vase. Nature is indeed a competent artist.

    The pic doesn’t appear to have been shot at 1000ft. Were they alive before being brought to the surface?
