Cropped, sized & cloned out a reflection in the glass. Looking at this, it's hard to remember that his eyes are on his other side!
The Atlantic Stingray (Dasyatis sabina) is a common North American fish found along the Gulf of Mexico and south-eastern Atlantic coasts, ranging as far north as the Chesapeake Bay, and as far south as Central America. It belongs to a sub-class of cartilaginous fish known as the elasmobranchs, which includes all species of sharks, skates, and rays. Stingrays are grouped under the Order Myliobatiformes. The Atlantic Stingray is a member of the Family Dasyatidae, commonly known as the "whip-tailed" rays. Species in this family have relatively slender "whip"-like tails armed with a venomous barb. The barb or spine is used for defense and can inflict a serious wound on humans if accidentally stepped on. |

Beautiful colours shame about the crop mark showing a lighter hue, reducing the image down seems to show up any alterations. Still I like the funny face on the ray.
