Love the detail & colors. Usually you're fighting low light conditions, combined with moving subjects - or glass glare if you try to use a flash. Very nicely done.

amazing clarity and dof.
i really like the translucency of the jellies.

Gorgeous!!! Great colour.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Lovely scene, though there are some serious artifacts around the edges of the jellyfish. Not sure what may have caused this particular appearance. I expect it will do well in spite of that problem.

Great color and processing. Probably been said already, but it looks like a painting. Nice work.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/20/2012 01:03:21 PM
these guys are sooooo difficult to photograph. Looks like a good shot, but just way to over-processed for my taste. I really like the colors....but it feels to forced with the processing.

I can't tell if the colors are real or processed, but I really like the effect. One of my 10s.

The color palette is very nice -- seems a little overcooked around the orange edges of the main jelly.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/14/2012 01:51:36 PM
I'm seeing a lot of jpeg artifacts around some of the detail. Otherwise, very interesting shot.

Surreal colours - almost glowing internally. Looks maybe a tad oversharpened.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/14/2012 07:43:51 AM
Seems to jump out of the screen,smashin' colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/14/2012 07:25:31 AM
