Description This is not staged. Sometimes reality is more absurd than any fiction.

I saw this glove with a piece of see weed floating around the harbor and was overwhelmed.

That's quite a sight to see... I think I would be freaked out if I had seen it in real life. Not sure why I would be though...

Nice capture.

This is so sureal and powerful, what a rare moment you have captured. You are totally right, reality is so often more absurd then fiction, and your image is a great example.

It's rare for mermaids to get cold feet

Vá nefnið myndinn þetta er frábær samsetnming.

Rosalega flot að það sést niður í skutulinn undir vatninu á bátnum, gefur vissa dýft og dulhúð yffir myndina.
Auk þess sem myndinn er samset af fallegum litum og skemtilegri samsetningu skugaog ljós þá kemur hanskinn einkum vel fram á henni, sérstaklega þar sem það flítur lítið blóm(þang) í lófanum.
Myndinn er vel tekin og skemtilega framset nafið á henni er svo fullkomið og gefur myndinni allveg nýtljós

Lol! At first I thought it was a photo-manip. I love it when you get perfect instances to take pictures like that. Nice capture!

Wow, the glove really seems to pop out at you. It' the first thing I noticed when I looked at it, great imagery! The concept is wonderful. It's kind of whimsical but realistic at the same time.

Oh, wow - is this real? Nicley composed, the glove in the shadow area gives the impression of a large dangersous fish with its baleful eye . . .
