Love the Frogfish framed by the reef. The crab and the eel are also your usual grade of stunning.

great shots gilligan! Once again showing all of us you don't need an expensive DSLR...

Just out of curiousity, was the background of the close up of the pink frogfish photoshopped out? not a criticism... in fact I like the results! nice contrast with the pink froggie!

Yes it was. Once I see the background is mostly black or very dark on a shot I often go ahead and blacken the background rather than leave it "blotchy".

You can see from the wide angle shot of the pink frogfish that there is a lot of dark areas above it. The close-up shot revealed that even more. So it fit my criteria for blackening the background, at least in the upper portion of the photo.
