Very nice shots, Not bad at all. If your not already, use a tripod. When taking of photos of people or animals always try to make the eyes perfectly focused as most people are drawn to look there. It looks like your focus point was on the Dragonettes body.
For your Torch shot. Try shutting all pumps and powerheads down for several minutes before you take the shot. This will keep it from blowing around in the flow and reduce the motion blur. It will also let small particles in the water settle so your water will look clearer. I shut mine down for at least 15 minutes first.

If you are not going to use a tripod, try to get your shutter speed up with either wider aperture i.e. f/2.8 or higher ISO speeds. Your Manderan shots were taken at 1/30 of a second with the lens set to 80mm. As a general rule, you don't want your shutter speed to be slower than 1 over the mm range. If shooting at 80mm, try to achieve 1/100 shutter speed for crisp shots.

EXIF information is embedded into the picture. I use a firefox plug-in so I can just right-click onto a picture and it will say camera make, model, and aperture/ISO/shutter speeds/etc. Everyone should read the EXIF data...there wouldn't be as many "what camera did you use?" questions
