    Incredible exposure. Because of their depth, snakes can be tough to capture well sometimes, but I'd say you nailed this one. I wish I had some constructive criticism for you, but you did a fantastic job on this. Maybe try to bring out the green of the snake just a little more.

    I find it interesting how I'm getting pictures of this guy and Naso lituratus clear on the opposite side of the globe here in Hawaii. It is just odd to see this creature not perched in a Pocillopora meandrina or Porites compressa.

    I almost always see rays over sand which can make for a nice shot, but I have yet to find one resting in an environment as interesting as a reef. More coral or color in the background would have been nice, but the pic certainly stands out as-is.

    I like the composition of the coral in this shot. I might take it to photoshop to clean up the turbidity in the water in the background and play with the histogram a little to make the water in back blue. Otherwise, this is a species of acropora, and I believe the bumps are actually called verucci. In acropora, the polyps, or calyces, come out of the ends of the bumps.

    While this is an interesting shot, I disagree that aquarium photography is a difficult discipline. I have done a lot of both aquarium and underwater photography. Due to the fluidity of the environment, reluctant subjects, copious backscatter, and the myriads of aspects that can go wrong, real underwater photography (when you are submerged in water) is incomparably more difficult.

    In this photo, it is difficult to pick out what the subject is. I would have aimed at waiting for the yellow wrasses to arrange themselves into a cool posture before hitting the shutter. If it was the coral head I wanted to shoot, I would put it to one side of the frame or the other instead of keeping it aligned in the center like that. Generally speaking underwater, the closer you get to your subject, the less dust and distortion, better color, and better overall shot.

    I've never found a Esox sp. underwater, especially not close enough that I could have gotten a picture of it! I would have wanted him facing more towards the camera.

    Great angle on a box-fish. This shot really gives this little guy character! I can only imagine how difficult it was trying to get such a detailed shot of a moving critter that wants nothing more than to swim away from you. Well taken!
