Amazing! That 5th shot, an urchin of some sort? Looks like a Royal Crown.

It's a Blue Tuxedo Urchin. First one I have seen here or anywhere for that matter.

I love the colours on these.
How much post processing do you have to do to get the red's in the first and last one.

In PS I pretty much just use "Auto Contrast" on all my pics. I then try "Auto Levels" to see if that is a plus or minus. Then some brightness adjustment if needed. Finally some "Filter/Sharpen/Unsharp Mask".

I think Canon cameras have a very vivid red. These were shot w/o the strobe diffuser. I'm still checking to see if there is much of a difference.

A few dives back I tried the "Vivid Color" setting but I think it was a little too much.

Thanks for the Flickr link. Great series of shots.
I'll bet your still post processing all those RAW format photos
Looking forward to the rest of them.
