I could watch these guys for hours.

Handheld at 1/25, then processed in LR with a bit of Topaz in PSE 5. Went back and forth on the sharpening and topaz ... i'm sure some will think its too much, but I like it. I also know that I'm going to get several "too dark" comments but, again, that's kind of my style and what I like. What I don't like is that half moon glare just to the left of the lone jelly in the upper part of the frame. Tried a bunch of different ways to clone it out but just ended up making it look worse or artificial, so said FI and left it in. Hopefully you all won't notice it as much as I do. :)

All you need is Marlin & Dory to complete this jelly fish forest ;-)

Fantastic shot. I'm hoping you'll explain more about this photo. The top left 3rd has a bright spot in the tenticles and some sort of reflection that would have been worth removing with such a great photo. It still gets a 9 from me.
