This is shot through glass which makes things difficult, but this is not the problem. It is shot with a 5D RAW using a 100mm macro at 1/200sec, F11 and using two 580EX as slaves.

I think it has too much saturation and some of the colors seem blown out??? The pic just dosen't look right. I am looking for a super sharp image that shows great detail.

I don't know if it is a post processing, but I need oppinions good or bad and also how to fix the problems.

TIA

P.S. please forget about the watermark(if you can call it that) I know it looks crap, but I have no choice.

Perhaps too much flash?

That was my thoughts too, it might be a little over exposed. But it seemed fine when in RAW format, maybe it had something to do with my proccessing???

Just a tad too bright against the bg. Did u try dial down the Exposure a stop or two while editing the photo in your RAW program?

You might also try adjusting the higlights/shadows in PS. Not reall a bad shot though. Cool looking fish.
