Wow ! Definitely a keeper ! As a scuba diver I appreciate all attempts at underwater photography knowing how difficult getting decent photos are . Luckily you got this one at an Aquarium. Next time don`t tell anyone where you took the photo ...let them try to imagine how you got it .

Beautiful...
I noticed a couple of your shots are at the aquarium. How do you get such good shots through the glass? Do any particular settings seem to work well most of the time?

I second that! Really nice through-the-glass shots. How do you achieve that (no flare)?

I used a program called Easy HDR Basic 2- it's free. It's not really HDR because it's only one exposure but it deals with tonal mapping I think. Then I do some dodging and burning in Photoshop. So, they are processed. Here's the original image.

Cool! I may try that on my older pics from an aquarium trip, if the image resolution is sufficient to work with.

I'd like to check out that program too. I've don't pretty good in aquariums. Those jellyfish are pretty but I'm still scared of them up close and personal.

Mom,
There are some jellies that you should be afraid of, Box Jelly in Australia is one of them.
