  Thank you all for the compliments and congratulations! =) It really difficult to take this photo. It was getting rather dark (right around sunset), so I was struggling w/ compromising the ISO. There were also horrible glares and reflections on the glass of Shamu's tank. I had to walk around the tank trying to avoid the onlookers and their reflections, while getting Shamu to "sit still". (For some reason Shamu coorperated !) So even though I loved the rays beaming through the water, there were all sorts of reflections I had to photoshop away. If anyone has recommendations on how to avoid glares, please let me know ! (I had a polarizing and anti-haze filter on, but it didn't do the job completely)
