Luminous Seahorse

[AndyMackie]

I was mesmerised by this beauty, at Underwater world at a coastal town called Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast, about an hour north of Brisbane.

They were so graceful I could have spent an hour shooting them, but my 5 year old had other ideas! No flashes allowed but luckily I had my tripod - still, pixel-peakers will notice that at 1:1 the aquarium glass and water have softened the focus a little.

Hope you like it, though - PS, best watched in full screen flickr mode

Bang on the money - very tricky where tanks and water are concerned but I think you have nailed it, bravo sir, bravo

Absolutely stunning. Whenever I try to take pictures through glass they end up being a serious disappointment. This is a wow.

A great picture. I've never managed a good picture at an aquarium.
