Although colors and subject matter is interesting here, focus is badly needed.

too much blur & motion for me; and the one stationary fish isn't enough contrast against background. great concept though!

A tripod or more light might have improved this image. It is a bit too blurry, in my opinion.

I think it could be a great shot with agreat motive... if it wasen't so out of focus and blur.

Lighting and focus too poor to allow the details to appeal. Composition seems completely haphazard.

Lots of colors, but too much blurr. The slow shutter doesn't work here for me.

aquarium pictures are difficult (i have tried!) - the fish are blurry due to too slow a shutter speed (difficult wihtout a LOT of light) but the plants are blurry too - focus issue i think, but tht ecamera may have moved. The exposure is uneven too - overexpsed on the left/top and under on the right/bottom.

Get the lights on, and the cam on a tripod, and wait without moving. the fish will settle done a bit, and then take 100 pictures. you may, may just get 1 good one.

I find it to be one of the most challenging things to photograph, although the local zoo aquarium pics i took are not too bad.

Blurred and seem to be overexposed
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very districting background and fish is at really bad angle. Although fish is sharp, rest of photo being so out of focus is really distracting.

Looks like camera shake has spoilt this for you. The idea is good but you need a firm support like a tripod to make this shot successful.

seems very out of focus to me.

Disorientingly blurry, I'm afraid. If you'd downsized it a bit for sharpness, it could have been a much better picture, but as it is it looks like you were waving the camera around with the shutter open and makes me feel more seasick than anything else. :-> Great colors and lighting, though.

This will be a great shoot if has focus and not so overexposed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good idea! Too bad your shutter speed was way too slow.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/28/2004 06:07:21 AM
Too blurry. Fast shutter speed and better focus would've made this shot better.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

No focus, confusing. I had to look for a while and then read the title before I figured out it was an aquarium.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

would be nice but way too blurry
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/27/2004 07:11:35 PM
...perhaps try using a tripod next time, but nice colors!
