f11.0, ISO 1600, 1/500, Lion Fish, Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium, Pine Knoll Shores, NC.
While their flowing spiny fins & beautiful colored patterns are quite the display, these guys are actually quite dangerous.

Great work capturing through the glass!! I have a zebra fish in my gallery...it's tough! You did most awesome with this!!!! #644625John Caruso April 26, 2007 0
Beautiful colors and light, Michelle! Great job indeed. #4216581Michelle R. Kovach April 26, 2007 0
Thank you very much Chastity & John! I appreciate your comments!Yes Chastity, It's quite tough shooting through glass if you don't know how. I was using a diffused flashed when I did all my aquarium shots & I had people asking me if I got the glare off the glass. I'd show them how to do it & they were thrilled when the didn't get the bounce that blows out your whole picture. :)
Have a great day!
