    Georgia Aquarium

    I finally got to the Georgia Aquarium this month, a place I'd wanted to go for a while. Here are some of my better shots. I'd like to hear your comments and critiques, please.

    The aquarium was a wonderful place - the best facility of its type I've seen, but horribly overcrowded and seemingly not built for the crowds.

    All shots with a Nikon D200 and 105mm f/2 lens at f/2.

    I love that jellyfish shot. The colors and composition are great.

    The jelly fish is something else and takes on the look of some weird, troubled, out of control hot air baloon ascending at great speed. A little space at the bottom would improve.

    That jellyfish is a prize winner. I have tried numerous times at aquariums and never got one as good as that one. Well done! There are a couple of little white spots in it though (probably bits suspended in the water?) - I would be inclined to clone those out.

    The colour of the jelly fish is both surreal and great. I have the impression that it was a rocket. Well done.
