Here is a photo I took about 1.5 years ago. One of my favs. What do y'all think?

Thanks
Eric

I like the colors!

in this one i wish there wasnt such a shallow DOF. still good colors could use a little brighter exposure if you ask me but just personal opinion.

 

[EricBrian]

Thanks.

This is one of the photos I took first when I got my camera and macro lens.

What is this? Is it corral? It looks awsome whatever it is! I like the colors.

 

[EricBrian]

Yes, it is a coral. I don't its name, though. It is some kind of SPS (Small Polyp Stony; hard).

I like it, find it nicely sharp where the focus is, and find it is no wonder DOF is so shallow, this being a macro shot. The colours are wonderful. What was your light source?

 

[leila]

love it!!!!!

 

[EricBrian]

When I took this image, my flash fired. But also, coming through on the top of the tank were metal halides.

Yes, the reason why I used the macro lense is so that I can get the polyps. They would have otherwise been too small. The same for this one:

This picture on Flickr.

Also, thank you for the kind words.

(Hmmm... I wonder why the EXIF info isn't available. Does Flickr remove that info?)

Great shot, sharp and super colours. :thumbup:

Did you have to use a filter to shoot cleanly through the water?

 

[EricBrian]

No, no filter. The photo with the green polyps had spots in it from particulates floating in the water. But, I photoshoped them away.

I did not edit the second photo.
