Description At the Georgia Aquarium (largest aquarium in the world)

When I fist walked into the area at the aquarium where the viewing window was, I have to say, I was quite amazed at its size. It’s the second largest viewing window in the world at 23 feet tall by 61 feet wide and 2 feet thick, it’s quite impressive.
I felt like an ant next to it as I watched everyone crowd around the window like little piglets trying to get their share of food. As if the 100,000 fish swimming in the tank weren’t enough to go around. I have to admit, I felt pretty greedy myself. Every part of that tank I looked at was just begging me to take a picture of it. (which I did) After 5mins and 60+ pictures later, I noticed I wasn’t the only one bitten by the “I want to take a picture of everything” bug. I saw tons of people with their cell phones/cameras taking pictures of the all the fish. Immediately, I thought that would be the best picture to take home. It took me quite a few tries to get this shot as people kept walking in front of the camera, turning their heads, adjusting their cameras…in the end, this is what I got and I’m pretty happy with it.



Tech talk-
Camera: NikonD50
Lens: Nikkor 70-300
Shutter speed: 1/25 second
Aperture: f/4.00
ISO: 200

Photoshop-
Slight adjustment in color variation
Added border
Other then that this is strait from the camera

*I couldn't figure out what category to put this in so any kind of help would be most appreciated*

ooh, hell yeahh. great composition, great eye. a lesser person would've concentrated only on the fish. good job in the surreal category, perhaps?
