Kelp is not blue, orange, or white by nature, but these colors are not added to this image by photoshop. Instead of a computer, I used light and reflections to create the colors naturally. The kelp was wet and located in the shade of a large boulder, allowing the water within the kelp to reflect the blue sky with a few white clouds. And because it was near sunset, the water also reflected the orange glow of the sea cliffs behind me.
