Jellyfish

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted May 15, 2017137 views2 comments
Hello,
This is an jellyfish in a local aquarium. It's in a wall-like glass tank. Because of the glass, and it's always moving, it's difficult to get a sharp focus image. This one is in focus somehow. Not sure if it fits into micro/close-up category or wildlife. If not appropriate, please let me know and I will remove it.

Just want to see if you like it. It's not a common creature but it's not rarely seen (in an aquarium).

Thanks

Bo, my (not especially strict) definition of close-up/macro is that the long dimension be less than about 6-8" (150-200 cm).  Without knowing how big this jellyfish is, I think it fits.  Congratulations on getting a good sharp image under challenging conditions.  There's a great amount of detail in the jelly.  Are the pinkish parts at the bottom part of the jelly or it's food?
