Hey wait a second! This is the opposite of deep.
Great picture though! Now we need a picture of the Pacific from the deep ocean to balance it out...

Didn't know marine scientists were allowed on the International Space Station.
Nice picture though. Camera phone?

You deviate slightly from the "deep-sea theme" and the readers go crazy. I thought I was the militant one on this.

My intelligent reaction to the picture was "wow"
It really is great to see, thanks.
