Hi Mark,

First Off, Welcome to our sub-forum.

Well secondly, quite good shots for a first timer.
However, some/most of your shots suffer from top down syndrome.
As what i used to say quite some time ago, Get low, get close and shoot up
Another point to take note of is that try to take the rhinophores of a nudibranch, they are "widely" known as the "eyes of the creature.

shoot more and keep improving
