Some from today
Here are a few from today:
Painted stinkfish 
Hydroid 
Nudibranch hanging under a ledge - I couldn't see what it was hanging on, but then my eyes are bad at close range. 
Cuttlefish - This is a different species from last week. They are not as colourful, but have just as much character.
Pro’s
The last three are excellent Sharp Interesting Colourful Con’s Last three - none The first pic would have looked better if photographed against a contrasting floor but I understand that under water you do not have the choice (sometimes)  Chris

Chris (and James),
Thanks for the comments. I do agree with you on the first one from a purely photographic perspective, but I like it because it shows the fish in its natural habitat and how effective the camouflage is. Here is a larger version of it: http://www.petsforum.com/personal/trevo ... ons07L.jpg
I was going to say "insufficient separation of foreground and background on the first one"... but like, that's the whole point of camouflage, isn' it?
Great series. Nudibranch is my favourite. Pentax istDS+K10D. Pentax 50mm f1.4, Sigma 10-20mm, Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro, Kit Lenses. http://www.redbubble.com/people/berndt2
Interesting group of shots. Like Chris, my first response to #1 was that the foreground and background merged, but as I thought about it I relaised that was the whole point of the shot. So photographically it's dull, scientifically it's great (if that makes sense). of the rest the nudibranch is the best - good DOF and colour and nice and sharp.

I was going to make a negative comment about #1 but the more I looked at it the more I realised that the lack of contrast with the background is what actually makes the shot.
There is nothing I can say about the others, they are spot on.
