Sigma goes to the Boston Aquarium

It was freezing in Boston today so my wife and 1 yo sought shelter in the Boston Aquarium. Brought a Canon 350D and Sigma 30mm f/1.4 with me. Had the lens hood on to minimize glare. Added quick settings (exif not coming up). Cleaned up the noise a bit in CS2.
Love to hear what you think

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.

    Damn! Not bad at all. Did a quick double take there.
    Have to confess that all I did was white balance, push contrast a tough in C1pro and noise reduced in CS2.

    I really dont have any business giving anyone advice here with all the other experts, but sometimes I see a great pic like yours and know that with about 2 minutes work, it can be greatly improved.

    I do it mostly to improve my own skills, so posting it is probably poor form, I hope you dont mind.

    I opened it up in PSE3, pushed crrl+L and got levels. Took some guesses on white and black point. Then color adjusted, both lightness and saturation, then did some unsharp mask. Really it took less than 2 minutes to do.

    You can too! PSE is only about $80 and widely availalble free with many accessories. (wacom tablet for one)

    Great jelly fish shots BTW,
