Jimbob - Either you donned a snorkel and fins for this photo, or you mastered taking the photo through the aquarium glass. Exceptional clarity, color and detail! Thad

It does remind me of John the master creator JimboB. Where's the JimbobbeR? A very good shot through the tank.

Doesn't look like a coward to me. Super ugly, but tough looking. Great sharp image.

He looks all dressed up with war paint and you say he is a coward. Nice clear shot through the glass Jimbob. Good clarity too.

Exceptional! Taking photos through glass is very difficult but you have made it look easy. And he can't be cowardly! Say it ain't so.
