Blue at the tips, a photo from California, West

Photographer's Note

This is an egg jellyfish. The photo was taken at the Monterey Bay aquarium with my Canon 50m f/1.4 lens and the lighting in the tank, no flash. i like the combination of intense colors, blue, and gentle tones, the yellow near the top, to be interesting.

Hey Tom, a fantastic shot. The colours are so vibrant.
Almost like an abstract painting. Hard to believe the subject was behind glass.

Impressed, David.
