Just mind blowing. Looks so surreal. The jelly fish with such a strikingly beautiful glow is a feast to the visual senses. I love that deep violet in the background as well. It has brought out the unique charm of jelly fish that much strongly. Powerful click- deserves an applause

This is beautiful! The jellyfish appears to be glowing from within. The colors are lovely. The sharpness and exposure are excellent. Very nicely done!

Wow, that's a jelly fish ?! What an amazingly beautiful creature. Did you photograph it under water? I love the glow and the colors. Great job on detail and colors.

    Thank you very much Barbara. I took this picture at an aquarium using my iPhone11. When shooting thru glass I always have to be mindful on reflections off the glass. Sometimes reflections are unavoidable as was the case with this one. So I kept the reflection confined to the upper right of this photo. You could see people in the reflection. This is where after photo work comes in. I erased most of the reflection and then covered it with the warm blue/purple glow around the main object. I use Smart Photo Editor to try different looks for the scene. This filter combination seemed to work well.

    I am sorry to give so much information yet people often ask how this was done. If you already know please forgive my babbling.

    Thank you so much Barbara for your great review and more than generous rating ~ Steve

Well Captain, nice to see you left the ship for some underwater adventures. ;)
I like the low key style of light, the electric blue of the water and the way the Jelly simply glows.
Nice work :)

Splendid presentation of this jellyfish and so nicely presented with the vivid blue background. The dark framing is suitable with the yellow colors.
Great, exquisite details and overall pleasing presentation!

Stunning colors here which are appealing to the eye. It shows movement and the gold jellyfish against the dark blue background is beautiful. You did a great job.

Very special mixed media as you created a very harmonious and outstanding composition that attracts the viewpoint - interesting, exceptional information and details, as it looks natural at the same time - nice color choice and great use of space with the impression that it is a water flying subject - clear and sharp in detail, well presented, thanks for sharing

Another great chapter in the Jellyfish collection. I like the composition, with this fish upside down, it changes the way I look at it and what the focal point is. Amazing detail on those tentacles! The complimentary colours really pop! Thanks for sharing
