Niiiice!
I have to ask... did someone miraculously match the wall paint to the background or vice versa or is the background clear and just showing the wall?

The first thing I did was to go into the white balance and set that. Then I turned the contrast to a lower setting. I turned the flash off and changed a couple of other settings and I am not really sure what they are as I am constantly playing with them. These are the first photos I have taken with the camera so I was still a little unhappy with final photo. The main problem I had was that the setting I was using was pulling all of the blue out of the photo. I have not looked into it but I am going to try to adjust this on the camera for next time. I also would like to learn on to use the manual focus.
For these photos I had to use Photoshop to adjust the blue wavelength. I donââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t see anything wrong with using Photoshop for making adjustments to my photos so long as the final product represents what the coral looks like in person. It is very difficult to capture a photo that is as vibrant as it looks to the human eye. I would not use Photoshop to enhance the color of a coral beyond its current state in my tank as I believe that is misleading to people. However I donââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t see anything wrong with adjusting the light levels and/or different color wavelengths so the final image represents the coral being photographed. What are others thoughts on this? I wonderââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¦

The background of my tank is the standard plastic blue background you can buy in any fish store. The tank is located in my dining room and the walls are painted with Martha Stewartââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s ââ"šÂ¬Ã…"œFrench Blueââ"šÂ¬Ã‚ one coat paint. The entire room is decorated in a nautical theme with the reef tank being the center of the whole thing I love that roomââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¦ I have a stereo, cool model boats, sea shells, big tank, etc. Glad you like it too!

just some advice, but I would remove the green fuzzy shrooms from the tank! they are super fast growers and have a pretty snappy sting!! I have them all over my tank and so does my buddy! they take over all open rock work in a hurry and have knocked out a few coloies on their way....
