Challenge: Free Study 2011-03 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC for Canon
Location: Shedd Aquarium
Date: Mar 10, 2011
Aperture: f/5.6
ISO: 1600
Shutter: 1/60sec
Galleries: Animals
Date Uploaded: Mar 21, 2011

 Took this inside an aquarium so the ISO was really high, it resulted in unfortunate noise. I loved the image so much I wanted to enter it, so I decided blur was better than noise. That being said I believe the eye is quite powerful and am aiming for a 5.7.
