Date: Mar 10, 2011
Aperture: f/5.6

Date Uploaded: Mar 21, 2011

 Took this inside an aquarium so the ISO was really high, it resulted in unfortunate noise. I loved the image so much I wanted to enter it, so I decided blur was better than noise. That being said I believe the eye is quite powerful and am aiming for a 5.7.
