Out of 144 I found a few that I liked.

#1 Bruce 2. Difficult subject to get to grips with.


#2 Medusa. Pretty but deadly.

Wow, that's a great shot of the shark! The features are so well defined and sharp - and it looks pretty menacing.

The aquarium lighting does wonders to the shots, doesn't it?

The tank is amazing, on around 5 floors, and there are sort of bays/ledges, set off the main tank withsand and rocks. Kind of like a strawberry planter.
The lighting was urgh. most shots came out green and blurred because of the diffraction of the water.
I used levels or colour to correct the shark,(not very well), but the jellyfish were in a ultraviolet coloured tank making them sort of purple coloured.
Here is a revamp.

and another shark.

or two

Look at those teeth in the last one... You got an impressive profile of Bruce!!
In the place where my Bruce was, there were no plants, it was just sand and an the representetion of an old sunk boat, and very dark...

The jelly fish are beautiful!! I like both pictures.

Thanks all. Don't know how big they are because of the glass viewing windows (magnifying effect) but they are possibly 2-3 metres.
This is where it is at...http://www.thedeep.co.uk ... a visitor attraction in Hull (halfway up England on the right hand side) The Humber Bridge is situated very near, until recently the longest single span bridge in the world.
There were lots of marine fish + sharks, rays, and sawfish, octopus, starfish, Walkways under the water etc.
We got a voucher to say, further visits for 12 month would be free, but you would be asked for a 1/2 price donation on each subsequent visit. Fair dinkum. We spent 4 1/2 hours there including lunch (I would skip that)
and we would go again.

Top shot mate, it is so hard trying to capture correctly in an aquarium. Reminds me of being at the Sydney aquarium the sharks in there are huge but it was very dark.
