Wow, 3 and 4 are fantastic. I like the simplicity and the focus of only the fish. I think number 3 is my favorite. I love the angle you captured there.

Excellent work on these. Very sharp and crisp. Colors are vibrant.:D :D :D

[Gr8outdrsmn]

Which macro lens did you use?

[dpastern]

Very nice shots, #3 is really nice. Fish usually don't do much for me, but you've done a good enough job to keep my interest :)

[kross]

Which macro lens did you use?

i use a canon 180mm but focal length doesn't really matter for aquatic macro...
used 180mm becos i'm only left with this macro lens....mainly for insects macro...:)
i've used 100mm before with great results and it won't break your arms...:p

cheers...

[drookie]

[Leorooster]

Great series. You did a great job! :)

[Nidz]

Yeah good shots. Little fish are hard to get in focus cause they move so much so youi did well there.

[kross]

thank u leorooster and nidz....

ya, the little ones especially those fast swimmers require great amount of patience...:)

cheers...
