I wouldn't fancy stepping on that, when I do a paddle with strides half way up me knees!..

Some super colours on that chappy!....

Jimbob - Such a sad face for a fish with all those stripes and colors! Excellent capture, especially through the thick aquarium glass. Thad

What is he afraid of? Most enemies would keep clear of those "porcupine needles"! Nice clear shot Jimbob, very good colours too.

Amazing the shots you're getting through the glass - I'm assuming you're using a polarizing filter but even with that these have been great.

Wonderful shot Jim I can never get rid of the reflections on the glass, you make it look like you’re in there with him.

It looks like it has a road map for a face JimboB. A good shot through the glass unless you popped your head and camera inside the tank. Most of us has been tanked once or twice in our live.
I like it.

It's not easy to shoot through thick aquarium glass and not have bizarre aberrations. This is beautiful. Nicely composed with the fish coming in from the left almost looking as if he's going to come right through the glass. Great color and clarity. Well done. anne =D

Tell me if you like it or don't but be sure to tell me why! I promise to always give honest and sincere (albeit gentle when necessary) critiques. MY NEW YEARS TIP for all, go have some fun with your new gear you got for Christmas. Do some things you rarely or never do. If you always shoot scenics, go shoot macros (or as close up as you can get.) Practice on different subjects, try new lighting techniques, bracket your shots (shoot the same image at different exposures and different apertures), get down low and shoot from your back, your belly, and your knees. Bend, twist, lean and climb up on things. Shoot toward the sky (carefully - blown out sunlight is NOT attractive :-) Just do something different and amaze yourself then share with us :-) Love you Caedians.
