 They have a viewing room at the aquarium where you can see the underside of a stingray. Despite the bad press they've received, they are known as the puppies of the sea. They are actually very playful. I didn't do this justice as the viewing room is almost completely black and I never bring a tripod since the place is always crowded (so I expect my standard 4.something).

I like the little face, or what looks like a little face. I've never seen the underside of a stingray. Good subject.

Looks quite soft around the head area and unfortunately I don't like the composition very much, I might have been tempted to rotate it and have a diagonal line through the frame to give a bit more interest.

It seems that his ... umm.... his bottom is more sharply focused than his face. I'm sure this is affecting the score. He's cute, though. :)
