Nice job.If it was shot thru glass you captured it without reflections.Welcome to BP. #2963293Tami Rook June 28, 2006
Thank you for all your nice comments and the worm welcome, This was shot through about 6" of glass with no Flash, to assure no flash back.... And starting to play with the shutter speed. Since I am new at this I am still working to understand about all the settings and what they do????? LOL slow, steady and shoot some more right? Thank you again for the warm welcomeTami

And a belated welcome from me, too, Tami. I think this is fine as it stands; I think the softness suits the picture: it adds to that underwater feel, and it is probably as much the typical softness of the Evolt as it is a product of the glass and water. I would like to see that straight object below the seal's head cloned out: the part above is fine; it looks like weed and adds to the scene, but the bottom part makes me think she's been speared! #3237235Deb James August 31, 2006
Welcome aboard, Tami! I love the colors and composition. And the subject is great! I know it can be really hard to get a good image of these guys as they swim by so quickly. Good job! #3250338Ariel Lepor August 31, 2006
This is a great shot, Tami! Love the colors. Only the seaweed or whatever that is behind the head is a little distracting. Great underwater shot!Ariel
