The entire backround is done twice to even and deepen the color. The white roses have medium brown edges and pale pink shadows. The yellow bud has cadmium orange mixed with burnt sienna dry-brushed. I have begun to add the dark areas in the leaves to define the veins. 19" x 14" on WC paper block. MPN Nov. 2010.

I am using a backround called Sleep by David Lanham and I am also using the somatic icon set also by David Lanham. I like to keep things simple.

TAXONOMY

Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Echinodermata

Class: Asteroidea

Order: Valvatida

Family: Oreasteridae

Genus: Protoreaster

Genus/species: Protoreaster nodosus

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: The backround body color is highly variable; may be beige, brown, orange, red or other hues, such as green or blue. Horn-shaped tall dark nodules are conical and arranged in a single row, radially on the dorsal (top) side. Most horned sea stars found are a roughly rigid five-pointed star-shape (occasionally 4 or 6) with tapering arms to the end. Their skeleton is made up of many calcified plates that move like flexible joints and is covered by a spiny skin.

Diameter up to 30 cm (12 in).

DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT: Red Sea, Indian and western Pacific oceans. Found in shallow sheltered sand and seagrass beds.. Depth range Depth range 1 - 582 m (3.3 - 1900 feet).

DIET IN THE WILD: The mouth is located ventrally (bottom). The star covers its food, then pushes out its stomach from inside its body of prey. Sea stars have a unique adaptation for consuming bi-valve mollusks (oysters, clams, mussels, etc.). Stars insert a portion of their stomach into the small “gape” between the valves of a mollusk. Stomach enzymes are released and digest the fleshy part of the mollusk inside its own shell. The digested contents are moved back into the sea star leaving an empty bi-valve shell. P. nodosus prefers sponges, corals, clams and snails, other invertebrates; also opportunistic carrion feeders.

REPRODUCTION: P. nodosus is a broadcast spawner. As in other sea stars, fertilization is external. Eggs and sperm are stored in the rays and released simultaneously. Larvae look nothing like the adults. The form that first hatches from the eggs is bilaterally symmetrical and planktonic. Larvae eventually settle and transform into tiny sea stars.

PREDATORS: Triggerfish, pufferfish, boxfish and parrotfish.

CONSERVATION: IUCN Not Evaluated

REMARKS: The Chocolate Chip Seastars are also called “knobbly sea star” and the “horned sea star.”

The chocolate chip sea star can regenerate lost limbs, as long as the central disk of the body is intact.

This is my beautiful friend Gesine who just became medical doctor!To properly apply for proper jobs,she needed proper application photos. This is one of the rather inofficial pictures taken at the end of the shooting..more to come. The setting was quite improvised with a plain white backround, one light directed to it and one light pointing at her face from the right side,plus a reflector to the left.

Shot on Poznan's Old Market; the big tower in the backround is the Town Hall.

Poznań ([ˈpɔznaɲ]) full official name: The Capital City of Poznań, German: Posen) is a city in west-central Poland with over 578,900 inhabitants (2002). Located by the Warta River, it is one of the oldest cities in Poland, making it an important historical center. Poznań's impressive cathedral is the earliest church in the country, containing the tombs of the first Polish rulers: duke Mieszko I, king Boleslaus the Brave, king Mieszko II, duke Casimir I the Restorer, duke Przemysł I and king Przemysł II.

Today the city is a vibrant center for trade, industry, and education. Poznań is Poland's 5th largest city and 4th biggest industrial center. It is also the administrative capital of the Greater Poland Voivodeship.
