  What a fantastic shot, Michelle! I know how hard it is to shoot in an aquarium. Awesome colors, too.

  Thank you very much Terry! It was totally dark overhead & a lot of the tanks are curved so you can't use a flash or it bounces off the glass.
This particular tank the background was blue & it was a beautiful color.
