Outstanding.
Looks a bit like some visceral glob on a stick; an ox-heart mounted for museum display....
woah! i don't know much about the extent of what can be done through digital photography.. but HOW do you do that to a photo?
Beautiful shot...
Guest 2...same as regular photography, you manipulate your light source, whether natural or (I expect) off-camera flash...

That's exactly what I thought when I was browsing the pool. totally stood out tho
I'm with mellbell and Fitsum. I figured the "Bodies" exhibit!
