very very very good !!!!!! your blue bubble shrimp is absolutely gorgeous!!! i'm very impressed!!!! very show off leh... very eye pleasing. think i like the composition....

like the colours of the backside shrimps.
commendable shots of porcelein crab and shrimp and clown.

[clive]

quite sharp the pics

[beivied]

very striking colours of the first shrimp pic.. i hate to have to say this, but... this that your HAND that the shrimp is standing on???

thats a chromodoris species.

just a general comment, more later, try to focus on the eyes. the hermit crab's eyes are not very in focus, and the nudi's rhinophores as well. these help to add the captivation to the photos.

[beivied]

i think the clownfish stare at shrimp pic is wonderful in terms of composition. cant comment a lot, hee.

the mandarin fish seems rather over exposed though. can we see the original uncropped pic? (please dont tell me this is the original and that you got THIS CLOSE to it.... )

my hand where got so hairy? haha no lah all photos taken with the creature in its natural habitat. no moving or poking of them lor

the mandrian fish is kinda over exposed, its hiding in the staghorn growth which reflects alot of light
thats why crop down lor..

cannot lah.. all manado photos taken in presence of a strobe :P hahaha

i honest one oke

[beivied]

people use strobe one leh ... so cannot enter this time round. but never mind, sure got next round ^_^

i would find some of the pics obviously ps-ed, but still not bad. went to look at the pics again yesterday, and found that the nemo with shrimp pic, the nemo was a little bit cropped off, and one anemone tentacle on the clownfish looked "chopped" off, as if the clownfish was cut and pasted, hahha... but ok la, i know lovells wont do such a thing one. good moment caught, lovells.

there is also a pic of a christmas tree worm in your album which is pretty nice lovells. dunno if you would like me to hotlink it here, but if you would, maybe you like to hotlink it for everyone to see.

my poor hantu pics, too lousy to get even any comments... ....worthy trip, lovells. and you have to thank whoever who lent you the strobe and lenses, haha.

hehe get close... if too far got strobe also no use.. got PS also no use..

my cuttle fish shot is abit too far.. then have to do alot of editing..yet canot bring out the color. notice the backgroup is grey? removed alot of cyan and blue.. to bring out the cuttlefish.
