At the Two Oceans Aquarium Cape Town a newly born batch of rare Knysna estuarine Sea Horses are finding their "feet". This little fellow almost begged to be taken as he posed next to the window

Not knowing what a new "sea foal" looks like, I'm going to have to take your word on this. You did a fine job of getting him centered into the photo. The lighting is good, however the background is kind of bland. I understand that you couldn't just say "hey little sea foal, could you please come over here to this more pleasing background and hang out awhile?" So I wont let it bother me too much. However, I do have one question. What the heck is all that stuff floating around? It's kind of icky looking. Thanks for the opportunity to view the sea foal. He's a cutie. Good luck with the challenge.
I really like this photo! I know you couldn't control the scratches (or whatever) in the glass, but it is sooo distracting. The little buddy is about as clear as I have ever seen. There are a number of light reflections, as well. A couple could have been cropped out as they were near the edges, but you would still have several that couldn't be cut. (no down grade at all, this is more than hard to do.) 9 Swash
I love sea life, and this shows nice detail and good clarity, especially since it was probably taken through aquarium glass. I like the balance of color. I might have cropped it differently for balance, but of course I don't know what you had to work with for the original. I've had photos that could have been so much better if only I'd been able to crop just a little differently...
Something new. Composition - quite good Technical Aspects - quite good. I assume this is behind glass. Meets Challenge - yes Visual Impact / Originality – quite good Jim msp
WOW! This is mucho cool and great colour. What are the two white circles at the top and one at the side? My score would be higher without them. 7, Kavey
