My vote went to ddaquaria. Love the composition, subject choice and color saturation pretty much on all of his photos. Good job sir!

Gene D is a close second for me. 4th photo could have used a little more light, in my most humble opinion.

wasn't sunkenmetal in the competition too?

Stunning pics from everyone, including colors and personality. Thanks for sharing!!

Overall I think ddaquaria has the best group. Good color and lighting throughout. IMO lighting is the #1 issue when shooting aquariums and if you can get as much as possible on the aquarium while shooting, especially faster moving fish, it will make your pictures easier to take and come out better. more light correlates to a lower ISO, higher shutter speed, and/or smaller aperture creating a great quality pic.

my top three-

soymilk - snail on glass
ddaquaria - nudibranch on sea fan
nitty- red livua close up

great jobs guys!

bump for some great pics

[soymilk]

Great pics everyone.

Maybe for the next photo competition we should have themes. That'll way it'll be a little bit easier to judge, considering aquatic photography is such a wide topic.
