    who's lookin

    after a while it seemed as if the fish were watching us....

    just a quick snap but I can't decide whether the silhouettes of the people work or not...not the best pic by far but a fun capture to share...any ideas and suggestions welcome

    I'm impressed by the quality of theshot.Strong clear , vivid colors,very sharp which can be difficult through an aquarium glass. I feel the silhouettes arehurting the shot, though.
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    the glass on most of the tanks was shockingly clean and the visibility pretty clear...the water was also pretty "clean" in most tanks. I think the general consensus is the silhouettes hinder
    rather than help...thnaks for confirming what I already thoguht...I just wish there was some way to "save" this shot the colors were so vibrant...
