Photo annoying or interesting?

The whip coral takes my eye out of the picture, so I would say distracting.

Amazing pipe fish! Really hard to see, great find!

Never had the luck of getting a leaf scorpion head on....nice variation!!

Ha I knew something was there but couldn't find it. I see it now.

Great shot!

For me, I would put it under 'distracting', but I feel it has most to do with it's angle.
To me, it's angle also has the picture looking a little too busy.

I think the whip is distracting but I also love the other 2 shots. Isn't that a mother and baby pipefish? Amazing find and great shot!!

i like it. the whip seems to draw me to the diver in the background. thanks for sharing

Thanks for all the feedback. Seems to be almost even split.

Lembeh is amazing and found if you waited long enough you could get many animals in pairs without herding them. I found I was just about 1/2 as productive as some of the other folks packing cameras but oh well...

A couple more, hope to have the gallery up in a couple of days, then on to editing video.

Great images - I like 'em all !!! Look forward to seeing the whole gallery too.
I must get over there sometime - considering the Phillipines next year, maybe I should include Lembeh.

That third one is fantastic.

That third one is fantastic.

Agree - so far that is the best for me. I would be tempted to remove the coral in the background and see what it looked like.

I like the whip - it adds depth.
