OK.. i take it.. its not nice to be sitting right at the bottom of the challenge... may be it was my screen color issue... but i really thought its purple when i posted it.

225 / 225... gives me a good reason to start taking the photography seriously.

Not sure why this is in the purple challenge.....you can see a lot of reflections in the glass which kinda spoils the shot.

Shooting into a aquarium is tough, I've only had very limited success at it. I'm afraid this came across looking like a snapshot.

I do like shamu, but not this picture. Not sharp, too many reflections. Might want to try a polariser next time.

Hello, I have made it a point for this challenge to comment on every photo that I scored under a 4.

I gave this photo a 2 for a few different reasons:

1. There is no purple in this photo whatsoever. Even with a generous adjustment for monitor differences, all I see is blue. In a challenge named "Purple" well, I think it speaks for itself.

2. The photo itself isn't pleasing to me in any way. You have reflections from the glass, there is no point of interest beyond the static subject, focus is off, and just about every other technical aspect to the photo (in DPC terms) simply isn't there.

I won't presume to know or guess on why you entered this photo into this challenge, but because of what I mentioned, it is a 2 from me.
