[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this photo at Ocean Journey in Denver, Colorado... through the glass tank, no flash. Levels, USM, cropped, and resized for web.

I just love the colors, and the "other-worldly" feel to this shot! I stood mesmerized by these beautiful creatures for a good, long while! So graceful the way they move!

Good shot! I agree this shot has an almost ethereal quality to it, the blues and pinks against the dark background and the almost spooky shapes come together to create a wonderfully moody image. Any idea about the lighting? I'm wondering whether they're being lit with UV... As with your tiger shot there's a little bit of noise, but it's not obtrusive IMO - if you want to remove it you could use something like NeatImage. If you know more about the species then you can post that in your note, although I'm sure something about jellyfish in general wouldn't come amiss, they're not common on TN! Anyway nicely captured :-D

I like this image and the mood is almost surreal. Adrean summarized the rest very well.

Well done and thanks for posting

Magical! What a wonderful shot. This shot and the tiger-through-glass-shot really make made me aware of the fact glass is not so impenetrable for a camera. I hope we will be seeing more of your shots soon as they are great. Well done. TFS!

Hi Jennifer, this is a lovely shot. As you say, it is other-worldly, it has real atmosphere. I agree with others about the slight noise and note. Lovely sharpness, DOF and composition Jennifer, it really works. TFS :)
