He opened his eyes for a minute tonight before the lights went out. Got my camera and snapped a pic real quick before he went back to sleep. Got one pic. Thoughts on improvement? They don't wake up too often so when they do I have to take advantage.

Sometimes one shot is all you need. Fabulous capture.

Interesting... maybe he would open his eyes more often if you didn't pop him with a flash every time... :)

But seriously I think it would be nice to see without the light reflections in the eyes... (I know that is probably a habitat light, not the flash)

The first thing I noticed was the light reflection and it bothered me. Yes, it is the light fixture from the habitat. With the little time I had I just moved the top of the tank over and pointed down and shot. The flash did fire but was mostly blocked by the tanks cover. Are the reflections in the eyes something that can be fixed in photoshop? I dont have it but hope to get it eventually.

Nice composition, but it is OOF. It would be great if the eyes were in sharp focus.
