[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A shot of a moon jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) peacefully floating in a tank in the London Aquarium.

Jellyfish are marine invertebrates belonging to the class Scyphozoa of the phylum Cnidaria. They can be found in every ocean in the world and even in some fresh water. Jellyfish stings are known to be extremely painful.
Jellyfish are an important source of food to the Chinese community and in many Asian countries.

PP work: rotated clockwise to get a 'ballerina' effect; increased contrast by 5; resized; saved in JPG - the original image was shot in RAW.

A beautiful shot, Morgwathien !
Beautiful blue! Well done!
TFS.
Kind regards,
Nivaldo

Very nice shot :)

Barbara,
The glass reflex worked to your favour. The blue color is splendid.
As suggestion, I would compose placing the jellyfish off center.
Cheers,
Wellington

Hello there

TFS regards Helen

Hi Barbara
Splendid blue colours and excellent captured.
Well done my friend.TFS.

Morgwathien,

this is a good attempt at an aquarium shot, but it seems a little unsharp, this could be the glass and water distorting the jelly.
the blue background makes the jelly stand out and the centre placement works good here as there are no other distractions.

Regards C.D.

A beautiful shot Barbara. Not an easy subject but you captured the see through jelly fish very will. The dark blue really makes this one stand out.

Nice detail and beautiful color. I'm always glad when people critique my photos, as it gives me a chance to go look at their photos, which I might not have otherwise seen.
