"Needs to be cropped down from the top a bit"

No...it doesn't. Did you see the fish at the top, and how the reflections appear to be gazing at it? Did you take more than 3 seconds to notice? Or did you spend that time looking for the "flaws"?

Thanks for the comments everyone! And thanks so much for those posted after the end of the challenge. It's always nice to hear from those who enjoyed the photograph.

I gave it an eight. I didn't comment because -- well, how should I put this? I was jealous. I love aquarium shots and was thinking of some I took this past summer. And how much better yours was.

Crop it? That would destroy it.

Nice work.

I though this was a great candid with a great capture of his expression in the reflection. An 8 from me.

I've never seen one of those before, very cool. I like the reflection too, that adds so much. Nice work.

This is beautiful. I can feel the energy of the fun day at the aquarium, hear the noises, and see the sighs just by looking at this picture. Though, looking at it all at once and keeping thoughts on the subject is difficult for me. I think a tighter crop down would have made this a stronger image. Cheers on the 8.

The wonder in his expression says it all.

The reflections of the face really make this shot. Great image!
