Jellyfish in Flight
Record shots are excellent for text books or showing our friends and neighbors where you have been. But as photographers we need to photograph the exotic in ways that makes the uninvolved viewer interested in our images. The art photograph does not just tell us what the photographer saw but rather how he saw.
This aquarium shot displays an interesting species of jellyfish. It shows good detail of the creature in motion. I like the placement of the subject in the lower right one forth quadrant which keeps it from becoming stagnant. This is a nice specimen shot.
If we are going to get photographs of aquatic creatures without getting wet we need to make sure that there is nothing in the image to indicate the picture was taken through glass, such as reflections. In the lower left hand corner there is indication of a water spot on the glass. This could be removed with just a little computer cloning. Better still try to catch this sort of thing before taking the shot.
