wow an exposer of one second and it's not blury. Taking pictures at aquariums is very hard usually the lighting is very poor or non exsistant from a technical standpoint I think you did a good job. Composition is nice as well with the other shark going in the opisite direction.

I wasn't sure I'd get this decent image due the low level of lighting and that I couldn't use flash and tripod in the building, but I surprised myself.
Thanks for your comment.

Its a cool shot, but being a surfer I don't have much use for sharks.

I've seen a lot more than I'd like too, and I don't have the comfort of a nice piece of glass separating me from them.

what a great image you took in an unusually tough situation.....good head on your shoulders to think to use the glass as a tripod....

thanks
