    Out of the bunch I go with the second image, great colours and a super subject matter nicely captured! Keep shooting!

    I think the third one with just the jellyfish is the best of the bunch. It is a great composition and awesome color! (This is about the second round of pics).
    There is nothing wrong with the other two, just that I feel they don't have a central subject -- I'm not sure if you want the people or the aquarium to be the story in these shots.
    On the first round of pics, they all are composed well, and again, great color on the jellyfish. The first one of the sea anenome? feels slightly underexposed and the second with the school of fish is nice angle, but flash bounce in the right corner is a little distracting.

    I like the last, it seems to be the sharpest and I like the simplicity. The subtle wake it shows really makes the shot.

    I love the third one. The silouhetted people and the great color of the water and jelly fish, just perfect! Nice shooting and welcome to the boards!

    The third shot is gorgeous! Great colors, great exposure, I like it.

    The fourth one would have been much better if the lighting at the bottom of the tank was as bright as the top. Then you would have had distinct silhouettes and this one would have been a real winner.

    The fifth shot is another nice one. I like how the guy stands out from the rest of the crowd.

    The sixth one is OK, but the composition could have been better. You've cut off the young ladies back on the right, and it looks like you've got a girl walking into your frame on the left. Judging by your other photo's, I'm guessing this was the best you get due to all the people. It's not a bad shot, but it could be better.

    The seventh one I love! Nice details and colors, and remarkably sharp to be shot offhand.

    What lens did you use for these?
