    fantastic ... might crop a little black off the top, other than that, frame it!

    Awesome shot, good color. The soft focus on the jellyfish on the right hurts it for me. I would also clone out the single squiggly coming from the top of the jelly on the right.

    I agree, that bothers me too, I just plain didn't take enough shots. I think this was one out of two, there were people jostling, and reflections off of the glass everywhere. The one in the center being sharp though still makes it for me...barely.

    Re: Jellies

    Great catch, good sharpness and exposure. Ultimately i would have liked to see less jellies and more black space. love the one on the left shooting stright across.
    lovely shot, but perhaps too many in the frame
    good stuff. i hear the LR3 noise reduction looks to be a good improvement over the previous version. Looking forward to the release
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    Here's the other one I caught. He's all by himself. I had to clone out some nasty reflections.

    yeah I can understand that. Its funny though - the slight out of focus jelly on the left doesn't bother me at all, in fact, I think it helps the image, since its in the back anyway.

    depth of field can be a b****h sometimes....

    I agree, when I was processing this, I immediately wished I had more DOF, but only for the RH Jelly Fish. The left one also doesn't bother me.
