Fish, coral, and flowers

[Michael L.]

I couldn't decide whether to go with the People and Pets forum or this one, but since some wouldn't consider these pets, here goes:

These are all either pictures of my saltwater aquarium inhabitants, or plants in my house or yard.

1)

- Tube Worm

2)

- Clown Goby ( About 1" long in real life)

3)

4)

- An orchid

5)

- A mushroom coral

6)

- A flower... don't know what kind.

All photos were taken with my Canon EOS Rebel XT with a Canon 18-55mm lens, manual focus. Edited with Picasa.

Critique is quite welcome. I just got my new camera last week, so I'm new t othe DSLR thing. Thanks for looking.

These two were taken with my new Canon 50mm 1.8 I got today.

Very nice work through glass.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to make my photos better?

try to avoid putting the subject in the center all the time, that seems to be a common theme in your photos

All these were taken with the 50 mm. On #12, I flipped the lens in reverse so I could get in closer to the leaf for a neat effect.
