This picture ended up being my favorite for the day. You wouldn't believe how long I had to wait for all the fish to close their mouths except one. I kept telling them "Close your mouths!" but then ALL of them would, then I'd say "Hey, Arnold! Open yours back up! Just everyone ELSE close your mouth!" until FINALLY I got this picture. ;) I have two different crops of it, one is a panoramic version which I MAY replace this one with. It just shows more to the left and to the right.

The first jelly fish is fantastic, but this one gets my vote!

It's funny how that one fish has his mouth open!!

"Hurry up guys, the dude with the camera is gaining on us!!" LOL! Look at the little fish in the bottom left corner! He looks SCARED of you, Paul! ;) This photo is EXCELLENT! Like you were swimming with the fish! But, there is no way I can help you chose from the jelly fish, which are also excellent! You got your work cut out for you, this time, Paul! Good luck!! :)

I like both jelly fish and this one... too hard to choose one! :)
