Sunflower Starfish Hunting in Kelp Forest in through a forest of kelp fronds near Cartagena

Sunflower Starfish Hunting in Kelp Forest

by Allen Weber

Golden hour light falls through the water column, illuminating a dense forest of kelp fronds near Cartagena. A large sunflower starfish moves across the sandy ocean floor, its dozens of orange and yellow arms extending outward with deliberate slowness. Suspended particles glitter like tiny diamonds in the warm glow, catching the fading sunlight from above. The kelp stalks rise vertically in the background, their green surfaces slightly blurred by the water's depth. Tiny bits of sediment swirl gently around the starfish's tube feet as it navigates the uneven seabed. The scene glows with an amber hue that contrasts sharply against the deep blue shadows hiding beneath the kelp canopy.
