Challenge: Delicate (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
Location: Las Vegas, NV
Date: Oct 20, 2005
Aperture: f/8
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/15
Galleries: Nature, Animals
Date Uploaded: Oct 23, 2005

 Taken at the Shark Reef display at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas. I was worried that the shot wouldn't turn out due to reflection from the built in flash. However, I guess I was able to get the lens close enough to the glass to avoid it. Post processing: slight cropping to remove a small bit of reflection, levels, resize, USM and borders.

Beautiful! Did you shoot this underwater? If not, I am very impressed.

Great capture! It's usually pretty hard to get this kind of crispness through water. Nicely done! (Must have just cleaned the tank.) :-)

this seems a little overexposed, and slightly soft. good composition though.

focus point seems wrong. looks like the top fins of the fish are the focal point... probably should be the eyes or the face... (maybe you were standing too close ?)

great picture. i'm glad you cropped the edge of the fish out of the frame so that he fills more of the picture. the border works well here as well. good job.

Lionfish are so cool...and I know how difficult it can be to photograph moving fish through glass. Good detail on the fish, although his face seems a little washed out.
