    Jelly fish

    Ever since I got my DSLR I wanted to get a picture of the jelly fish at the aquarium

    I took a few, here is the one I liked the most
    Medusas

    Exposure: 1/30
    Aperture: f/2.0
    Focal Length: 35 mm
    ISO Speed: 800
    Exposure Bias: -1 EV

    The top right corner has a bit of the edge of the tank, which I did not notice on the camera or the viewfinder, until seen large on the PC

    Thanks for your C&C

    Happy holidays to you all !

    This has the potential to be a truly outstanding image. For that to happen, you need to spend 3 minutes with the clone stamp and remove the auarium edge at the top right. Other than that one very minor (and very easily corrected) flaw I love everything about this one, could even be a money maker!

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    Re: Jelly fish

    Jet, I think another solution is to crop it out. Doing this instead of cloning may give the feeling of even more jellyfish (since you have more jellyfish cut off by edges) since the thought of viewers would go to "wow they couldn't even get all the jellyfish in frame." I had this feeling when looking at the left side and bottom side of the photo (because you chose not to crop/clone the jellyfish there to prevent them from being cut in half by the edge). What are your thoughts? The big downside to that is that you lose one of the three primary subject (at least I think there are three "main" jellyfish in the photo). Although that would also make the photo just contain one main subject then...

    Great photo, nice job.

    Beautiful photo! For what it's worth, I agree that a crop may be the answer.

    Warm wishes,
