The Angel and Bamboo

I was surprised at how difficult this shot was to take.  The biggest challenge I faced with this assignment was making time to shoot.  With a toddler it's difficult to find time to "go out" and shoot.  I realized that my mission had to be to make my immediate surroundings look interesting to other people.  

The fish, oh the fish.  I have several in the tank but was plagued by inexperience with the camera - it's my husband's Canon, I shot only with a Nikon, there's a difference!  I couldn't change the focus field, I couldn't set the aperture priority - I was totally lost.  I shot more than 100 pictures of the tank with a 10% success rate in terms of composition and focus.  FOCUS - fish move - a lot.  This was the very last shot I took.  It was what I was looking for the entire time.
