If only we were in the sea Photo

Photographer’s Note

Here is a pic I took earlier this year of the aquarium in Okinawa, one of the biggest tanks I have ever seen, I thought I would post this because everyone likes aquariums maybe.

I just spotted the mother and child and waited for the big fish to swim over them and then snap I did it

I hope you like it,

good pic, funnily enough it looks better when you see it from afar.

nice contrasting photo...earthy creatures in black with sea creatures in full color.

Good timing here, Dan, the big fish (shark?) above the silhouettes of mom and child is well placed, and the flock of smaller fish below is well captured too. In general this is a nice rendition of a typical "aquarium atmosphere".
Hope all is well with you and yours, it's terrifying to hear about the natural disasters that have come upon Japan recently.

I certainly like aquariums. I really like how you composed this. The silhouette is touching against the blue of the water. It's easy to imagine an awe struck child as the mother points things out to him. I really like all the fish and shark through this shot nicely. They have a lot of movement and seem so oblivious to the people in awe of them. Very nicely done. Great lighting.

Hi Daniel

How did you go in the 6.8 quake tonight?

Excellent photo with good color composition & contrast. I like the silhouettes looking at the basking shark.

nice and 'dreamy'! Great that the silhouet is completely black. Good quality capture of the fish too! very nice
