Photographer's Note
Monterey Bay Aquarium
The Monterey Bay Aquarium, located in Monterey, California, consistently ranks as one of the best aquariums in the United States. Some of their biggest exhibits are their sea otters, the large kelp forest, and their huge exhibition of jelly fish. This is a smaller tank, but I loved the range of colors in this view. As for perspective, the starfish is stuck to the outside wall.

Hi Amber,
I agree with you...the array of colours captured here, amongst the coral and sea life, is amazing. I really like the fact that the colours look natural, which is not the norm with these type of underwater shots, and definitely, the starfish adds depth and perspective to the image. Well done.
Cheers Grant

Hi Amber,
Great colorful shot!!Less sharpness adds an underwater feeling.Objects are looking like many gems scattered.The upper part of Star Fish is looking slightly overexposed...but overall the picture is good.
Regards,
Ambar

Hi Amber,
Wonderful colours and compo! You achieved a "diagonal compo" without having any real diagonal, which has the effect of nicely enhancing the starfish. The exposure and sharpness are also amazing, the only minor flaw being the OE on the bright parts on the top left part.
Regards, José.
