This was shot through the glass of the tank. I did everything that I know how to do to speed up the shutter speed to stop the fish and anemone. The composition is something I like here with the fish sort of framing the anemone. Also that some of the fish have some detail, as does the anemone. However, I still can't figure out how some get such crisp vibrant underwater tank images. I was moderately pleased at this my first real attempt but will have to work at it more.

Great shot, but I feel like the font is too square and boldly colored, and doesn't seem to go with the flowing water and tentacles of the sea creature.
The picture itself is a 10. I don't think the blue chosen for the text was the right choice. Not sure what color would have worked best, but the blue feels really out of place in my opinion and is a distraction. I think just going with the simple Seattle Aquarium title would have worked and maybe choose the same yellow from the center of the anema (sp). Score: 9.
