About the Image(s)
I took this image at the Sydney Aquarium back in early January. Took it handheld. 1/640@f2.8 ISO 1600, no flash. Did some obvious touchup to brighten and color correct a tad and removed the bothersome black block from upper right. It was still a tad soft around the face so I ran it though my trial copy of Topaz Sharpen AI. I'm impressed and plan on doing some more playing with it. :)

Great image. I've done some aquarium shooting but never got quite this lucky.   Posted: 03/12/2019 19:14:22

I like this image and am glad to see the results of Topaz Sharpen AI. I just tried Topaz Gigapixel and it did improve the images but not as much as I thought it would so I'm probably not going to keep it.   Posted: 03/13/2019 20:09:08
Sean, I like the image. It would work better if the head area was sharper.   Posted: 03/21/2019 09:02:00
Sean I apologize for the late comment. I was away most of the month. Just got back.
Strong image. Really like the feel of movement. Seems to me you did a very nice job of working with/through the glass of the tank and the the refraction of the water.
The "softness" around the face is not a problem for me. Not even sure you can or should correct it. After all we see every thing "soft" through that much water.   Posted: 03/22/2019 15:47:04
