Dancing!, a photo from California, West

Photographer's Note

This was taken at the Monteray Bay Aquarium. The trick is to catch the jellyfish in between contractions, use a low f number and a fast exposure. The ISO setting was 800.

Hi Tom,
It's a nice pic. The thumbnail is really strong, and the larger pic doesn't disappoint. I like the blue patch.
