Default Sting Ray

While I was snorkling on the island of St. John two weeks ago I had the luck of seeing this sting ray swimming around the bottom. I grabbed the pic but upon closer inspection it seems too soft. Any input on this would be appreciated. Thank you.

At websizes it doesn't look that soft, and with underwater shots you're always going to have a bit of a problem with water clarity. I like it a lot. My only real quibble is that the frame just feels a little crowded, with the left side cutting off part of the ray and the tail. But overall, I like it.
