Thanks for shareing this photo a little outoff focus but i can see it clear enough to see the detail .
What a lovely looking creature against that pale green sea well done.

Capturing a subject in or through water is never easy. A lot has to do with the clarity of the water & I think this jellyfish was stirring things up a bit. As mentioned before the jellyfish is slightly out of focus, but I'm definitely enjoying the movement you captured as well as the contrasting colors. Nicely done Elizabeth.

It is something to see for those of us that don't get a chance E~. I really like the color of the water in this one. It also reminds me of a hot air balloon that is coming apart at the seams.
Nice post.

You have a shot that I never would have attempted. I would have screwed it up big time. You did a good job with it. Very nice.

Psst Liz !! what happened when two Jellyfish got together ? ... they produced Jelly babies. (o:

Thanks for sharing your aquatic pic with us.

It is recognizable and you did a terrific job here Allison. It looks great.

Beautiful and interesting work

A shot definitely worth sharing for the interest factor. I don't think I've ever seen a live one, just the dead ones washed up on the shore. Good job!

very cool shot!

Gosh!, I think you did a fine job with this capture. I didn't realize there was that much color to them. Guess the color of the water brings out the jellyfishes color also.Nice!!!!

I think he must be really hard to photograph because of the transparent bits of his body and that everything is in a lot of motion. Maybe a really fast shutter plus an external flash could slow him down a bit. Nice try, and he is beautiful just as he is!

Such a pretty one it is too. Glass is often times a definite problem, but you got this clear enough for us to see the distinguishing features and he does indeed look like a hot air balloon.

It's a fabulous first try! Like the floating tendrils and the deep water color!

Again you steped outside your comfort zone and nailed it. I love the colors and detail.

A good looking jellyfish image, Elizabeth. I think you did a fine job on this. It does look a bit like a hot air balloon.
Nice work, Saved

Nice work wit the water..I never have any luck with this type of shot, but you did very good. Great capture and a wonderful post.

That is a fine looking Jellyfish specimen, lucky you were out of the water when you took the pic. Have you ever been stung by one?

Pictures through water will always confuse the autofocus. Such is life, and this is a wonderfull shot of life, just the way I like it - from a distance!

This isn't a Japanese Man 'O War is it? they are deadly poison!
This is a beauty of a jellyfish tho. And you did a great job of getting it on a photo. Not easy. Nicely done!! V

Just wonderful Elizabeth, but I suppose that swimmers will disagree with me, lol.
Regards, Cornelius.

yikes! Don't get in the water...

I was swam with these things in the Sea of Marmara, many years ago. You have brought back memories for me.

It´s a very good shot of the jellyfish with great details even if it is a little out of focus. Is it true like Verena says, that these are deadly poisonous? If they are I am glad they are not in the waters where I go swimming :-)

I love all your photo and always say I wish I was there, but after seeing this guy, I would never go in the water down there! lol We have some jellyfish in Aug. up here but for the most part they are small one. I think you did a great job, give that it wasn't the best of circumstances.

We have some really nasty Jellyfish over here in Australia. I live in North Queensland where the deadly ones come from. I was stung by a box jell on New Years Day in 1973 as a 8 year old. Still remember it today! I was one of the lucky ones. The ambulance man saved my life, as on the way to the hospital my heart stoped. So these days I try to stay out of the sea. Thanks for sharing your photo. Lyn.

Ain't it interesting how each new environment we encounter challenges us to learn new photographic skills and approaches. I think the detail and colour is pretty good Elizabeth, it's certainly an impressive jellyfish.

I like your jellyfish and I am sure you will master this as you have in your other work
