 Shark tunnel in the aquarium. I took advantage of the place being deserted and used the fill flash to light up the place. It's actually very dark in there.

The overhead light trails seem almost like antennas creating a sorta odd alien thing with its mouth open.... Kinda cool! What you needed was a shark right on top of the tunnel, staring at you. :-)

The lack of focus, flatness of light, and no real subject really hurt this one.

it looks grainy and not sharp at all .. eye gets drawn to the red light which is also bit distracting

this looks like the polar bear exhibit at the Detroit Zoo, but since I can see what appears to be a shark on the left, I'm guessing that I'm wrong ... can't wait to see what aquarium this is at ...

Everything seems to be out-of-focus.

Could have been a nice picture if it was in focus, nice colours.

Nothing is really in focus here, not sure if that was because of focus itself or down to camera shake, but it leaves my eye wandering round the picture looking for something to settle on, and I end up with the orange light at the end of the tunnel or the bright reflections along the top.

Given the amount of reflective surfaces here, it probably isn't the best place to get maximum advantage from a flash.
