Well today it happened. I grabbed the DLSR to "play around" and ended up with my new favorite photo:

Compared to a run of the mill shot:

IDK photography in my mind... is half luck...

Thanks for looking,

very nice indeed. Just a thought, have you thought about a different angle, or crop? That out of focus aspect on the right really draws me away from all of the awesome color and detail elsewhere. Just a thought.

Thanks! Of course, it being a macro shot... and the fact i was using a stock lense... depth of field wasnt so good

but here is a cropped version

That's a beauty. What lens and coral is that? I'd like one of each, pls!

Wow! Very nice picture. I kind of like the uncropped version, the blurr made it look like it was coming off the screen. The cropped version looks good too.
