It's the 40th annual Sony aquarium outside the Sony Building in Ginza. I Googled the phrase "never lose wonder" and got some Christian's blog, but this is good enough I hope. I took the photo from behind the fishtank - and while I was taking photos, I checked the time to see if it was past 1p.m. yet (DPC rollover time) - none of my first 50 or so aquarium shots would have been eligible - but I was hoping for a Fish themed challenge (about time we had one, eh) 13:05:57.
Cropped. Duplicate layer: the highlights/lowlights Light Overlay method with the gaussian blur. I desaturated the cyan colour as there was a blue film on the back of the tank. I also made another duplicate layer and adjusted Shadows and Highlights. Resized and stroked a 6 pixel border, then increased the canvas size for the text - Bilbo-hand-bold.

Ok, so the photo's not that technically great. Over-exposed, funky looking coloured fringing, and it looks like a slight lean to it as well... BUT!! - It's a perfect moment in time to have captured and is pure delight when put together with your message. Love it! 8
