Monterey Bay State Aquarium
This place makes it almost too easy to get some cool shots. I like to hope my eye was good enough to capture some interesting angles, but the deep sea is so alien it's almost hard not to get some sort of interesting shot. Besides cropping and levels most of these images are minimally processed. It was shot handheld with all natural light, Nikon D50, Tamron 17-50mm f2.8.
My favorite set are the squid, though the shot of numerous fish on blue is also a good one (believe it or not, the shot was not faked, they were actually swimming that way).
