14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A sea full of stars

This is "El Cielo", a shallow sandy diving site off the coast of Cozumel, where pillow stars wander around freely. This image was created by chance. I was assign to take underwater photos of a model, but it turned out she coludn´t dive down and the shooting was cancelled. But I took the chance to grab this image of this mágica place instead.
