Critters at the Aquarium of the Pacific

Long Beach, CA, USA.
I acquired a rubber lens hood, which when pressed against the glass eliminates all reflections. It doesn't eliminate all problems - murkiness in the water is a big one.
The other thing I learned is that shooting other than perpendicular to the glass introduces distortion, which ruined a lot of my shots.
Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II.
The frogs were taken with 7Artisans 25mm f1.8.
All others were with the M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 EZ
Lots of post-processing: white balance adjustments because the lighting in the cages and tanks was all over the place; sharpening, noise reduction.

Wish its head wasn't in shadow.
