Wow Art....simply amazing image you have there. I absolutely love how the main two "stalks" (I know that's not the right word 
) are in focus and the DOF drops off from there. The detail is simply stunning with the detail of the corallites and I love how you were able to show how the color slowly migrates from a tannish to a blue. I can see how people slowly migrate to keeping SPS....although I'm still hung up on LPS and zoas
What is the background in the right portion of the image? Is that another coral out of focus or the background of the tank? I think that it really compliments the foreground very nicely and adds to the overall feel. Great job....you have quite the mastery of macro for sure. Something to aspire to.
Look forward to the next installment.

Guys, thank you for your comments and kind words. This lens blows me away. Can't wait to catch a break in a few days and spend some more time experimenting with this little marvel.
divecj5, thank you for a very constructive review. The world of SPS is undoubtfully beautiful albeit challenging at times. The background to the lower right of the coral is pink acropora (can't remember its name).
zenya, thank you. I tried to get the entire colony in focus and still show the pigment gradient and couldn't do it. I still got a lot to learn. I'll try Aperture Priority mode and see what it'll yield.
Nuuze, thanks. The last pic was taken at ISO 400 in manual mode.
ktar, to be honest I know nothing about Canon S3, but check out this thread: http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=957881&highlight=Canon+S3
