Photographer’s Note

The place is the "Two oceans aquarium" in Cape Town. Aquarium around the world alwas attract people like this little boy sitting by the window and looking at the sharks passing by. This aquarium contains 2 milj litre of water. The "glas" is made of some kind of plastic material and is 20 cm thick.

About the photo quality. Its taken without a tripod (unfortunately) and there is som reflections from the "glas".

Hej Stefan,
A very fine picture with strong graphic qualities. The colours and composition, and especially the silhouette of the boy with his outstretched hand, make me think of a picture from a fairy-tale book. Very well seen, and the reflections don't disturb at all.
Hälsningar,
Gert

Hej Stefan,
Even if this is an aquarium, you convey a feeling of a real submarine photo. Just the little boy reveals the fact that it isn´t. Very good colours. The shark here looks quite mean!
Hälsningar

Hello Stefan,
excellent capture: great POV! The boy pointing at a shark... I very much like his dark silhouette with a stretched arm. The moment with a shark above was captured perfectly!
Warmest greetings from Moscow,

Hello Stefan,
Aquariums are great places to take photos, and I always enjoy seeing silhouettes against the water, such as the one here in your photo. The colors of the water are beautiful, and I like the way you captured the child pointing at the large shark passing by.

I agree to Gert concerning the fairy tale. This image tells a great story and you have created a marvelous impression! The colors and the light are fantastic. TFS!
Warm regards

Hello Stefan,
Original photography with great atmosphere. I love the silhouette and it seems I can almost see the movement of the fish. Splendid color and light.
Kind regards,
Betty

Hej Stefan,

Interesting colour play, and almost abstract expression!
The composition works well with the silhouetted spectator lower left, and this is a necessary inclusion to understand the image...
A fair result under difficult conditions!

Greetings,

Hi Stefan,

great photo. It seems dificult take a photo with these light condiction. You manage it very well since you didn't have a tripod.

Really like the boy pointing the sharks.

Thanks
Andre
