I had to crop this tightly and tweak the perspective a bit in photoshop to save it. If I'd <em>only</em> been standing slightly further back to have the sides of the window sloping upwards either side to show the perspective I might have had the best photo ever... but my angle was wonky and I clipped the edges off. Doh! Actually, I have half a dozen photos that are also almost brilliant, but in all of them someone stood up or walked past just at the critical moment, blotting out a critical part of the picture with their stupid great out-of-focus head. I only had five minutes left before we had to leave, see, and I'd still got half the aquarium left, so was just running around snapping like a madman. Before I leave Okinawa, I'm going to go back there one weekday morning when there aren't too many people, and I can take as much time as I like waiting for nice shots...
