all the images are lacking some contrast they are all a little gray. good composition on the first and las one. i would say get closer to your subjects. i can be a hard place to photograph when the water is dirty. the second image needs to be cropped in on the fish a lot. i thick the top one is your best shot and can be edited to make a great pick. all you would have to do is add some contrast and sharpen it a little and maybe add some color back in to make the strawberry anemones pop out a little more. i like several of the shots in your gallery better than the ones posted. i looks like vis was bad that day.

what kind of camera were u using and what kind of strobes.

I'm using a Canon S50 camera wth no strobe. I just ordered a Sunpak G flash strobe which unfortunately suffered from some strange shipping delay and I won't be able to use it for a while because I'll be in school. :shakehead

Tomorrow I'll be out again so I'll use that sharp setting and contrast as you said.

Cheer!

Don't do it in the camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do it afterwards in photo shop or some sort of editing program. the camera does not do a very good job at this plus if you don't like it you cant undo it if you do it . i would just focus on getting close to your subject. and you should see some improvement. if you think you are close enough get a little closer.
