Yes it's captive!

(Not many wild ones in the Rio Grande!!)

Shot at a local aquarium. I had a very tough time getting acceptable images. Autofocus wasn't working well and my manual focusing abilities leave much to be desired! It was also very dark and I was at a high ISO and wide open so not much depth of field. Would like to go back and try again but this was really just for fun and to give it a whirl.

C&C welcome.

Canon 5D Mark II, 24-70mm @ 64mm, f/2.8 @ 1/60 sec, ISO 6400

I think this turned out great! I like the colors and the thin depth of field...

These things are a huge challenge to shoot - I've never been very successful. This is a very interesting shot - good angle, nice colours, and you caught the evasive luminescense. Well-done!

I think this turned out superbly! I love the warm, orange tones against the dark blue. Thanks for sharing.
