Katie and the Grouper

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted August 12, 2012256 views6 comments

Thanks to Andrey’s inspiration and well deserved WP ‘Friends at First Site’ (see it HERE)
I showed Andrey’s post to my wife and she reminded me of some shots I made of our Granddaughter Katie at the Georgia Aquarium 2 years ago when she was four. I had her sit in this window on the side of a main tank and was waiting on the Goliath Grouper who had been swimming in circles and passing by about every 3 to 4 minutes. Katie fell asleep waiting on me and the grouper.

Priceless. I like the look to the image, though a touch more on the right would have been nice. Nice detail in the fish and your granddaughter.

Vey special photo Mike. Great observation and patience to get the Grouper in the shot! I agree with Rob about the space on the right, but can imagine you were really constrained with respect to how much space you had to work in.

Your grandaughter looks as if she had a memorable day too

Moments take so ...oh..so long, when you are young. Perfect capture. To be cherished for years by generations.

What a sweet gorgeous image! I loved Andrey's photo, and this one is equally a prizewinner in my opinion!

This is adorable. She found a nice quiet, comfortable spot for a nap.
