Altho I liked #5, #4 or #12 has the most potential.
There are too many with parts cut off and the focus looks a little iffy on some.

I guess that I should have asked for some critique. Could someone please take #12 or #4 and show me what you would do to make them look better?

It was difficult shooting through the plexiglass of the fish tank. Lots of optical distortion...it was 16 inches thick...curved in most places. I think this had something to do with a few shots looking out of focus...the haze of the plexi glass is worse in some places. I am sure that some of the focus problems were mine as well...because I was using mostly manual focus due to the camera's difficulty autofocusing through the plexiglass. Any suggestions for shooting through thick plexi glass?
