Today marks the first day in a somewhat long series of underwater photographs. Not underwater as in taken underwater, but underwater subject matter taken at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach
I found it quite challenging to take good clear pictures through glass, into underwater environments, in dark rooms, with fast moving subjects. If anyone knows any good camera settings for situations like this let me know! I love suggestions. And I hope you like what I did manage to get right :)

@Naren: I'm glad you like it :) Thank you.
I love the black and white conversion. It gives this an almost older look. Like a photo taken years and years ago. Great light. Nicely composed. I like it.

@Edward James: Thank you, I liked that too about this picture (the old feel). Thanks for your comment.
I enjoy this serious of marine life. This one is excellent with the rays of light and the seal. As you mentioned it is difficult to capture through the glass there are people prints, scratches and glare from any light but I feel you did exceptionally well. I haven't been to Long Beach since the 80's I remember it as a fabulous place and had the time of my life.
