I like the first one a lot, it's such a simple little shroom but it looks great.
The other two, the main subjects of each are out of focus and blurry... sorry. Plus the sand is overexposed in #2 and you cant see any detail.
Do you use photoshop to work with your photos? I've found that lowering the exposure on sand through use of a mask is GREAT because it is normally overexposed like that.

Thanks for the critique, I do use photoshop to edit the images, and the second one was fine until I got brightness/contrast happy with it
I'll take some more this weekend when I can actually sit and do it with my tripod, correctly.
These were taken while hand holding at 1/30th (IIRC).. so hopefully the new ones will be better :fish1:
Just a hint for you, especially concerning the last photo (fish are tough). Increase your ISO so you can get a faster shutter speed. For the average fish, I like to shoot at least as fast as 1/200. That 20D will do a pretty good job at higher ISOs. I wouldn't be the least concerned about going up to ISO 800. Off camera flash can also be very useful with fish photography.
Anyway, I think the second shot is my favorite. The first is quite nice in its simplicity as well.

Autofocus photography or Out of focus photography? 
(I kid, I kid.. ) #1 is sharp and looks good. #2, I think it'll help if you turn off the pumps first before taking pics... the Xenias are blurred (unless you intend to make them look like that) #3, I would step back to allow some leeway on focusing, and then crop. Looking at the exif, I'd say bump your ISO higher, at least 400. 1/40 is not gonna cut it with moving fish.
