Excellent! I have tried to get shots like this at our Sea World, but they never turn out. There's always flare from the flash, or glare on the glass, or the silhouettes are blurry! That's why I appreciate how perfect this is. Fantastic job!

Oh, this is really wonderful - I've done a few aquarium shots, but none as good as this one. Perfect silhouettes. The smaller child particularly.

Wonderful silhouettes and it works well with the bright blue tones. Like addition of horizontal border as well. Great work!
