I always knew you were a "Superhero", 'Submarine Lady'. (he, he, he…) Fantastic photograph, Sharon. I love all of this, the composition, the colors, the DoF are all terrific. Exceptionally well done, my very dear friend - your good friend, Allan #118611Sharon E. Lowe April 18, 2004
Allan - thanks! These guys can be so hard to photogaph but this one stayed at the front of the tank for me! #489449William C. Raco April 18, 2004

Very good!! He's a beauty!!! #489515Gianna Stadelmyer April 18, 2004
I'll say these can be hard to photograph! They move faster than one thinks and they can be very elusive. I tried for a good half hour one day at an aquarium in London to try to photograph one of these guys and just couldn't get a shot. Had to give up and move on! This shot is EXCELLENT! Great colors and DoF! Wonderfully composed:-) #489537Sharon E. Lowe April 18, 2004
Bill, Joy, Debra, Carolyn, and Jan - thanks so much for your nice comments! Jan, we were at this aquarium (in Mystic, CT) the previous day too and they guys had huge puffed up bellies but just weren't in a good position to photograph. I was very happy to get this one but was disappointed that his belly wasn't as big as the day before. How is the aqaurium in London? We are frequent travellers to London/UK since my husband's family all live in the UK but we've never made it to the aquarium. My daughter is a big fan of aquariums so if you think it is worth a trip, we'll go the next time we're there. #489558Lori Ditlefsen April 18, 2004
