School of Rays at the new Georgia Aquarium. CS2 levels, curves, smart sharp, and noise reduction. Cloned out a "bothersome" grouper that obscured the image and little cloning to blur out some of the small background fish that looked like dust in the water.

Wow, amazing picture. Were you under water for this or is it a tank? Nicely done.

Really different shot, very exciting to look at. Well done how the rays are fully contained in the shot with none on the borders.

Quite a school with such swift and agile movement. The excitement pf the composition with sweeping across the frame is superb. I realize the challenge taken for this image and a sharper focus would have really helped this image realize its final potential. Yet, the overall movement dances well. Bumping up.

Holy cow! That is a alot of stingrays! What makes this shot interesting is the sheer number of them as they glide throught the water. In an odd way I look upon the blue of the water as the sky and populating that sky is this group of strange and unusual 'birds' taking flight. My only critique for this shot is that I wish that the stingrays were in sharper focus such that we could see details in greater clarity - but that may have been difficult if the water was murky....
