I'm gonna try to insert an image. If it come up, it's titled: Monterey Peep Show. If it doesn't come up, it's titled: Back To Square One!

You made it! Congratulations.

Now, what is it? Are those people being sick on a boat, or are they just staring at their own reflection? A little more context in the image would have been nice - as it is, it is mystifying but ultimately unsatisfying.

Thanks for sharing with us!

Large format photographers do it upside down and backwards! (my idea for a good bumper sticker a caption for this piece) ... t

Just got back from buying my son a car...$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!

I was once criticized on photo.net for giving too much info...took the mystery away, they said!

Anyway, I simply grabbed a photo with people to test the image posting technique...very simple method. I use Zing image hosting...very easy...http://www.zing.com. There are others. This one is free and quick.

Now, for the photo: these are teachers in training at the Monterey Bay Aquarium looking under the yacht harbor walk ways for thousand of tiny organisms that live there...no way to photograph them, but these critters are simply beautiful, with tiny featherlike fronds waving in the water, constantly eating, like so many of us. That's what they're doing, but this would be good for a "what's the caption?" contest.

Well, I'm happy this site works so well and I think this will become one of the best sites on the photo web thanks to a great and enthusatic photographer: Shawn. Thanks Shawn.

Strange, at first glance I thought you had posted this image sideways (rotated left 90 deg.). In fact, if you were to rotate the image 90 deg. right and crop off the name of the yacht, I would think that these people were standing against a wall staring at a black marble- like substance. Perhaps more visual clues would help, such as including their feet in the frame.
