Fishtank

Something about this shot seems to work, but at the same time, it seems like there's something missing...just didn't quite "nail" the shot. Any suggestions?



Thanks for the help!

On a web-page, it looks like two photos - it's the context.

Printed, I don't know how it would come across.

What seems, to me at least, to be missing is a connection between the children and the contents of the fish tank - the corner of the tank does a great job of creating a huge disconnect (not a good thing in this case).

And, the one fish I can make out in the take is quite small and seems to be blurry.

There's some reflections on/in the glass of the tank as well. One huge one above the water-line and another about 1/2 down. Big detractors.

Scott nailed it. There's no connection. It would have helped if you could see the rest of the elbow or the hand through the tank, but you would need to re-shoot.

OK, thanks much! I'll keep this in mind for future shots.
