Thanks gilligan you made the picture look much nicer.
Do you find that you generally have to that much work in photoshop?
The camera is the A70 with an internal flash. I don't want to deal with strobes, I'm just taking a few shots if I see something neat.
I'm just using full auto mode, and don't really plan on shooting in manual, so I was looking for more composition.
The main subect I wanted to get was the orange stuff on the right (algae?) I was also hoping to get a more striking color difference between the fish and the algae.
I don't think letting the fish swim out was really an option, I only had about 1 foot of clear water between me and the wall when the surge sucked all the stuff back. Do I have to have strobes to get good pictures in low vis?
Here is another picture I cropped and resized of trying to get the algae. It would have been great if the algae was in front of the blue rock, and it was in focus.
