The Story:

The East Sea of Korea is very cold and dark. When I took this picture, the water depth was 35 meters and the water temperature was 5 degrees. Every time I see metridium senile in full bloom, I think of it as a baobab tree in the ocean. So, I took a low angle shot of a fully bloomed metridium senile and expressed it as a baobab tree.
