Wow!!!! Again a very big WOW!!!

The FTS are spotless, your coral colors are incredible... I have to say some of the best I have seen.

Makes me very envious, something I am striving for. Great Work!!!

Excellent photography! When you use a macro lens like that does it make the backgrounds real black or is that something you're doing in CS2? Jeez, my Canon G7 just got uglier!

Your aquascaping is really great too! My tank is a standard 90 gallon...same as yours, but 48" instead of 60". You have done a great job with the rock considering the width and height. I wish I had the patience to do that!

Btw, I'm pretty sure this coral is Montipora samarensis "Forest Fire". I have one, and it looks just like yours.

Thanks Myka!!!! no the macro lens doesn't blackout the background. I don't adjust this in CS2 ether. they are black because am shooting through the aquarium and the whole room is typically pitch black with the exception of the aquarium lights. I also under expose the picture when am shooting them.

As far as the rock work believe it or not i had a mock-up aquarium and made papermaches first to see exactly what i wanted to do and how I wanted it to look, from there I put the rocks together oh and the rocks are not glued just pegged.

thanks for the positive ID on that coral. I'll make a note of that one.

Ok thanks. I do the same thing as you with the room dark, and I underexpose as well - maybe not enough? A guy on here sphelps takes photographs in a similar style as yours where the background is blacked. I'm still trying to figure out how because it sure makes the corals pop out in the photo!

Papermache? Hehehe. I tried to peg my rocks, but ran out of patience, so mine are zip tied. You must have a lot more patience than me.
