Blue-green Jelly

Thanks for the comments and for the EP on my previous image!  Let's give this one a try!  My second favorite image from the visit to the Monterey Bay aquarium.  Initial review of the RAW file and I almost deleted it.  But now I'm glad I worked on it some.  This was one of the first images I tried out some of the NIK filters.  I'm pretty sure I used the noise reduction and pre-sharpener.

Another handheld image wide open at iso 3200.  Very pleasantly surprised at how little the noise is.  Anyway, just a fun image.  As always your comments and suggestions appreciated.

Thanks!

Lon

Lon, I  appreciate how difficult it is to get good images of jelly fish through aquarium glass having visited the Newport. OR aquarium a few times and Monterrey Bay once. While the other image is sharper and has bolder color, I like the more subdued and softer color in this one,that you have captured the top, side and underside of the jelly fish.

I am really enjoying the deep blue colors and the sense of floating with the jellyfish.  The abstract comp is working for me, although I might be tempted to clone out the top right jellyfish and crop down from the top.
