Dan,
Please take this constructively. The first picture is cracking, but with work could be a competition winner. I'd suggest processing using HDR (High Dynamic Range). This will show the Lionfish better. Either that or isolate the fish in Photoshop and process background and foreground separately.

This photo is very similar to a stunner in Alex Mustard's latest book. I tried to get a shot like this in the Red Sea in January and failed, so I'm jealous.

Brill pics, like the idea of using your torch for illumination with the puffer fish. The first one is excellent, gives me encouragement with my F30. Get me to Egypt at once for more practice

Thanks for letting us look.

Cheers

Some nice pictures there! Thats whet my appetite for my 1st Red Sea trip next year. It's about time the F10 got some blue water to record!

Now, do I need a strobe?

Thanks for the input, I'll look into it. Also will be buying a graphics tablet soon as well, as masking within Photoshop is a pain in the butt with just a mouse.
