Nice shots. Looking at these on an iPod touch and they look sharp with good color. Not to mention they're nice corals. Well done.

thanks for the compliments. I hate the software I am using for raw images though it takes forever, I need to get elements or something more user friendly.

Maybe you can practice taking pics of my tank?

Now that I look at them on a real computer, there does seem to be some blurring/movement in most of the images. But it's minor, suggesting slight movement of the coral itself or minor camera movement. I assume you're using a good tripod that is not allowing any camera movement? Are you using a remote release? Mirror lockup? The movement is minor, but if you can eliminate it, your images will have an extra snap to them that will make them stand out. Or maybe you're not sharpening them at all or enough. I sharpened this one in Photoshop, and it looks like that's all it needed. I bring this up because you have some excellent images of some beautiful corals. Try sharpening them some more to see if it doesn't help.

You shut all the flow off when you took pics right?

I also have to add how intensely jealous of the array of beautiful/unusual/rare corals you Michiganders have in your tanks and get to photograph. I rarely see anything like these in Illinois.
