I particularly like the jelly fish! It almost doesn't seem real. Very nice series.

I'd say you got some nice ones too. The jelleyfish is stiking and the ray... well it's awesome. Nice captures.

Thanks for all the comments. I thought the blues came out nicely and the manta ray was great. I have one of a whale shark too that came out ok.

Wow.. great shots..

How did you deal with the reflections on the glass ??

I went to an acquarium recently and couldn't take a good shot because of all the reflections that were on the glass. No matter what ever I do, I always was having those reflections in my pictures.. Any tip that you can give me ? Thanks.

Probable just lucky. Normally you have to be right up close to the glass "I think" but these were taken a distance away and I waited till no other people were taking flash photos to get them.

Some tanks if there is a light close by it will reflect and not allow you to get a good photo or people might get reflected because of a light. I ran it to a couple that did not come out to good...LOL
