Default butterflies, jellyfish and an alligator

Here are a few shots from the Tennessee Aquarium. First off are a couple of butterflies up in the glassed in areas on top of the building.....then a jellyfish....then an alligator that my son captured with my point and shoot camera...we both really liked this one.

I really like the first one, crystal clear focus with great DOF. The jellyfish looks magnificent, the black background shows amazing detail. All shots are really good.

Looks like a great place to visit. The butterflys are lovely and nice DoF and angle in the first one. The Jellyfish really gives the feel that it was taken in very deep water and you should get your son to take more photographs, he did a great job with the Alligator, lol he looks like he posed just for the camera. Nice work Patrick and son.

Dave.

Nice work Patrick. The first butterfly shot and the alligator are my favorites. The alligator almost looks like it know something we don't.

Really nice set of shots. The butterflies are great and I love the jelly fish. You got some great colors on that one. Alligator is a riot I think he looks hungry
