Puzzle Description:

Unbelievable things are found every time a ROV goes to the bottom of the sea. Those are supposed to be those giant red tube worm things they find by volcanic vents. The dots in the black are bioluminescent critters.

I think this is really cool! Very neat idea, and well executed.

Thanks for participating again with this unique entry!

Thanks!

Really amazing - both the subject and the image. Wonderful job. I'd love to see a photo of these things. Do you have a link?

Notice they aren't green, but was limited in colors to use so that seemed best.

Here are a couple of articles about them. They can get upwards of 8 feet at the deep vents. Seeing them on tv documentaries the red part jumps back in to the tube if threatened...they are bizzare.

Neat image once explained. I thought it was a mountain cabin and flowers. Fun subject. Thanks.

Thanks for the links, Jennifer. They certainly are bizzare. I enjoy learning about interesting lifeforms like this.

You're welcome!
