Leafy Seadragon - Aquarium of the Smokies, Gatlinburg, Tennessee
EOS 1D Mark II, 24-70mm

Unfortunately I was never able to get him parallel enough to both the glass and the sensor plane to get the tail and eye in focus but its one of the coolest animals around so I thought I'd post it.

Excellent aquarium shot EJ. 8) 8) I've seen these in aquariums and I'm always amazed by them.
