I am partial to jellyfish images and I will have to admit that I will be biased here. Having said that, I have to commend the photographer for this photograph because of the clarity of the details. It is very difficult to photograph jellyfish with this kind of detail because they are constantly moving around. The 'hairs' are amazing. In many other jellyfish photographs that I have seen, the 'hairs' are kind of fuzzy. DOF is excellent, colors are beautiful ... and especially, the way the aquarium lighting was caught is very wise and appropriate - it did not overwhelm the main subject and thus afforded contrast and clarity.

nice photo. I am wondering if this was taken under water? I did lots of suba-diving in my youth, so I can appreciate the difficulty in getting a shot like this...it is very sharp & crisp....

Technical: fits the challenge. Exposure composition focus lighting all good.

Personal: nicely done, but doesn't compel me.

My vote: 5

Interesting and rare shot - composition dull, but great unusual image. A border would frame it better as a finished image.

the finger sneaking in on the right side and the cutting off of just the top of her hair on top are elements that might be able to be improved.

Proud, pensive portrait. A little more softness would have been to my liking. (Only my opinion)

I'm guessing this was a spur of the moment shot but, with the exception of the womans hair, you could not have posed it better. It has a cozy and warm feeling. Great shot.
