He spends most of his time in a large colt coral but came out for the photo shoot.

This being the photography forum, are you open to constructive criticism of the photo? No big deal if not.

Sure.

Cool.

I know it's tough to get a moving fish to cooperate and sometimes even just getting the fish in the frame feels like a victory.

Ideally the placement of the focal plane would be on the eyes of the fish.

What f-stop are you shooting at? I find that F9+ works best for macros.

I had the camera on automatic but it appears to have shot at F4.5 for 1/60 sec. These shots were cropped from a larger photo.

Me too!

It would look even better if you were to remove the most obvious specks of marine snow at least from around the fish. I use the healing brush in Lightroom and just click on the speck to clean up snow from my photos.

I agree. I think it's a speck of dirt on the glass and I haven't started using any post shot software yet.
