Wild Jellyfish
Although I've posted a couple of other jellyfish photos (one and two), this is the only shot I have of a wild one. I saw this one floating around on a beautiful beach near the south eastern tip of India (at the same place this was taken).While it's definetely not as colorful as the jellyfish I've shot at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, I thought the natural lighting and the overall peace of the image made it worth sharing. I also like how the water is so clear that the jelly seems to be floating in mid air.
I wanted to help the blandly colored jellyfish stand out more so I used a shallow depth of field to blur the foreground enough.

This jellyfish doesn't look as scary as the others did. Thanks!
Thats a good shot. The overall composition gives a dreamy feel.
Good capture.
Its a cute little guy!

Wow - yes, it is worth sharing :)
Beautiful. The shadow is excellent. I'd be careful about going into the water. Jellyfish sting, don't they?
Thanks for the comments,
And I definetely didn't go into the water beyond my ankles (not so much the jellyfish that scare me, it's the sharks).
