*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
A very competent image that is assumed to meet the challenge-w
This is a very well executed image that has a lot of appeal. You have very effectively countered the biggest challenge you were faced with, that of reflections off the glass, by using the rubber hood you have completely overcome it and produced something of quality. An apt title sums up what I like about the image, the incandescent hues against the translucency with the black background all work together very effectively.
Even though you are at presumably maximum aperture you have still got a good DOF here that captures all of the body detail well. I like your commenters remarks and concur with them fully. I think because we are more used to seeing a jellyfish in a top down posture we are thrown by the angle here, not that it doesn't work but perhaps a rotation may have secured an even better score.
In an another appropriate challenge this would have placed very highly indeed but in this challenge you are up against a lot of high quality entries but you still did well, thanks for a great entry, Sid |

This is a very clean jelly fish photo. Love the colors and softness. I almost breezed right past it though, because most jelly fish photos are heavily out of focus and noisy due to a combination of aquarium glass and a dark room. Brain said, "Jelly, next." Thankfully my eyes got an extra second to look while my hand was responding to the "next" command and the brain sent out a "whoaaa, wait" command.
While the capture is very lovely, the orientation feels off to me, and I feel like I want to flip it or crop it differently. My eyes keep bopping across the image looking for a place to land. |
