Nice. I have been there. This is a great photo. I wish when I was there, I got shots as good as this.

Whoa, until I saw the description, I thought this was a bowl containing incense or something else burning.

yeah....would you belive a kid came into the photo lab I worked at with MY pictures he found using the neighbor search on a CD. Since then its watermarks for everything.

I totally understand! I've seen far too many people getting their artwork stolen!

Great shot! I'd probably have tryed to use a smaller zoom to catch a better view of the tentacles but I'm not sure if that's possible and it's quite alright as it is anyway. The orientation seems a bit strange. Was it really swimming down (Didn't know they do that ). Using B&W was a nice touch as it gives the idea of being in the depths of the sea. Very well done

yes, it was swimming downward, I asked one of the staff there about it and he told us that they usually swim this way, and infact the photo they have on their webpage has been rotated 180 degrees.
