[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
You can never tell what you'll find at the Monterey Bay Åquarium Jellyfish exhibit. Sometimes there are just a few jellyfish other tiems there are hordes. In this caes the spotted jellyfish tank was full of these animals. Individually these are aesthetically pleasing animals but as a group i think they're impresseive. it's hard to get a good shot since the tank is curved, with a radius of about 2-3 ft, but i think i was far enough away that it worked out ok.

I believe i took this with my 85mm f/1.8 prime

Hi Tom

Your jellyfish shots are some of my favourites on here. I will be in California in November, so I will try to visit Monterey again.

Great light, focus and colour here.

Hello Tom,
I think you succeeded very well in capturing these in a tank with curved glass! Tey're very beautiful and sharpness and colours are great here. I like the diagonal they're forming too.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hi Tom,
Splendid shot of these Spotted Jellyfish herd. Nice colours and sharp details. Considering the curved glass you have managed to capture these immaculately with neat focus. The dark BG highlights the subjects pretty well and their diagonal formation looks beautiful. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.

Hi Tom, cool shot. I love their shapes. I think I'd be tempted to have tried to isolate 1 or 2 or 3, easier said than done I imagine. Well done.

The is one place I want to return too Tom!
I like the way you composed the shot your depth of field is right on!
The way you use the Jellyfish to lead us into the image is excellent!
The dark background is good!
