Beneath the Wings of an Eagle Ray

A spotted eagle ray passes close to the glass, revealing its pale underside, curved mouth, and neatly spaced gill slits. Its broad fin sweeps beyond the frame, creating a striking study of shape against soft blue water. Photographed at the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi, Texas. #EngelPhotography #SpottedEagleRay #EagleRay #MarineLife #TexasStateAquarium #CorpusChristi #AquariumPhotography
